   madcow2bsn replied to mmrush1's topic in Male Students

   Thanks. all this support has me confused, though. My soon-to-be-ex has been an RN for 16-17 years and has always said nurses eat their young(if they like them)& everyone is in real trouble if they cross a nurse. I saw some of this when I worked i...
