5. Is there a name for this?

   There is an older lady in my family who does this repeating thing that drives us all nuts. I'm wondering if its a condition, or that she's just quirky like that. Basically, you could say, "The onions are in the bottom drawer of the fridge," and she...

10. Staffing Question

    snowmaiden2005 replied to snowmaiden2005's topic in General Nursing

    I hope this does not come off as rude, as it is not my intention. I'm not asking anyone to do my homework. There are several more extensive parts to this assignment that i did not include (about 7 other sections of work requiring quite a bit of wri...
