  25. Is it true that OR nurses......

    HRM672 replied to spinyerselfdizy's topic in Operating Room

    As I re-read my post, I realized it may not have come out exactly right. I don't mean to suggest that OR nurses do not have that foundation, I just wonder if you can get there exclusively through...
