In fact the standards tend to seem almost top secret or at the very least associated with a membership club like standard of care. The research, and even the seminal instruction manual for the development of preparations...
The service would likely loose money if thousands of hospitals and other health care institutions did not have to purchase the manual annually, but then it would be more easily disseminated and applied in the health care setting and particularly in the educational setting.

Registered Nurse As the child of a registered nurse (RN), I grew up watching my mom working in an environment that was inspirational, rewarding, challenging, and never dull.
