   LovingLearning replied to oramar's topic in COVID

   Ditto...Nebraska it is for me too. It is a great book. I'd rather it stay in fictional land, though. I've been doing a lot of reading about this today; it seems there is a lot of concern, and the CDC/WHO is not producing much reassurance. I live i...

   LovingLearning replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

   Just wondering how you're doing? Despite my fear that I was going to have nightmares, I haven't, at least not yet. I will say I'm taking a lot of good natured teasing from my colleagues, but that's to be expected. LOL. Hope you're handling it well...
