Understanding nurses’ dual practice: a scoping review of what we know and what we still need to ask on nurses holding multiple jobs

Vertical interventions and system effects; have we learned anything from past experiences?

  • Authors: Oliveira C, Russo G
  • Publication Year: 2015
  • Journal: The Pan African Medical Journal

National and international interventions […]
