Nondiscrimination

Notice of Nondiscrimination

At Nursing Specialties, we are more than just your nurse — we are your neighbor. That commitment includes treating every person with dignity, respect, and fairness.

Nursing Specialties complies with applicable Federal civil rights laws and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin (including limited English proficiency and primary language), age, disability, or sex (consistent with 45 CFR § 92.101(a)(2)). We do not exclude people or treat them less favorably because of these characteristics.
