    NotYourMamasRN replied to B52Bomber's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    NotYourMamasRN replied to ivyleaf's topic in Emergency

  14. So is there really a nursing shortage?

  15. Why would a long-term care facility require 2 years of experience?

    NotYourMamasRN replied to purplegal's topic in Geriatric, LTC
