   LaVorneRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   I couldn't shorten any of this cause it's all so cute! My family is from the caribbean and this sounds like some of the stuff I've heard my grandmother and mother say. The tree and fruit thing was a real doozie!

   LaVorneRN replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

   Hey 1GR8TRN! First of all you are just that! And don't forget it. Second of all, I feel you! Although the nursing role is new for me the field of nursing isn't. I've worked side by side with RN's for 16years and I know what you're talking about. It'...

   LaVorneRN replied to justjenn's topic in General Nursing

   I just bought my 2cnd pair of Danskos. The first pair was for comfort and fun while living in Alaska. The Nice thing I've found is they are great with thick socks, white "sweat" socks, thin pant socks, or no socks. The thicker the sock the more snug ...
