Follow up to Nursing Reference Center Plus Site Visits in Greater Wisconsin

Dear Nursing Leaders, Champions / Super Users,

Thank you for your enthusiasm and help in rolling out NRC Plus around Wisconsin. 

Here’s a follow-up to the Nursing Reference Center Plus demos and site visits that happened in February.  If we missed your site due to a winter storm, my apologies.  Mother Nature wins, but you can still use NRC Plus!   Please help us spread the word.

Please share with your Nurses on all shifts around Wisconsin.
