    offlabel replied to Jordan1927's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Like labor and delivery at a VA? I'd be shocked at that and even if there were, the hospitals that provided that service would be few and far between. VA insurance would cover maternity and l and d...

    offlabel replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! To say nothing of the mass delusion of the Gender/Climate/Race cult. It's like hallucinogens are in the drinking

    offlabel replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    That she's on a speaker's bureau website (basically a talent agency) is not any indication of her success as a speaker. I really doubt she's making a go out of traveling the speaker's circuit....
