2015-04-07 06:28:10 PM tracy1 Kathy, it is true that NATIONAL certification gives us leverage, but WHY would one go for STATE certifation?

2015-04-07 06:28:59 PM j9sparkley all the more reason to take mepapII if someone is more worried about herself than the patients she needs to work some place else
