Site Feedback The site was easy to work at because the College of Nursing has been going there for 11 years, and the processes are well developedprocesses are well developed

Also, it is a great site because there is follow‐up available for the patients  since Angie Overholt is available for the patients, since Angie Overholt is available long term, and she sets up follow up for the patients in other locations as well

I liked working at this site because it was a sustainable outreach and not just a one week outreach without follow upfollow up.
