Dear Sir/ Mam
A friend of mine introduce this OHNAP a year ago. We met last week and reminded me about it. Here I’m still naive about the organization. I’m about to retire as a Military Nurse two years from now and I’m asking if I will still be qualified during that time, to join your organization.
Hoping to get more information from you.
God Bless
