   Kaleigh replied to ceecel.dee's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not sure about the legality of the issue but I know for certain that phentermine and viagra (what a combo!) can be ordered over the internet with no prior prescription. Found this out when my FIL's UPS package came to the family business office ...

   Kaleigh replied to rachel h's topic in General Nursing

   Okay, I know this may sound a bit unorthodox but I swear it works. Take a large paperclip, pull the small loop straight up and out so that the paper clip makes an "s" curve, lay the large curve over the vein with the straight sides running parallel ...

    Kaleigh replied to reddgott's topic in General Nursing

    In order to be accepted into the nursing school I am going to, I had to be a CNA. The nurse aide certification is required because of the fast pace of the program. Even though it is a two year program ( like most other schools), there isn't a lot ...
