  7. What do nurses think about doulas?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to emde's topic in General Students

    Theory class is usually for three or four hours in the morning. Some the Fundementals ones may go longer at first. Lab is often split up by group, at least for the practicing part, so it will depend...
