Greetings!
Happy Summer! Hope everyone is enjoying it.
The NNA Mentoring Project is going well, and we continue to need both mentors and proteges. If you are an experienced Nevada nurse or a new graduate nurse in Nevada, please visit our website www.nvnurses.org for more information or to sign up.
We are also moving forward with the Disruptive Behavior/Horizontal Violence effort. We will be bringing you more information as this project continues. |
