   Thank for your reply! I apologize if I gave the impression I was wanting others to do my work for me, that was not my intent at all, I just needed a little guidance or input for narrowing my searches down. Thanks for letting me know about the Consens...

   Idiopathik replied to GooeyRN's topic in General Nursing

   i got mine from http://www.cottonscrubs.com. I last saw them on sale for $4.99 there, I think they might be going out of business or something. They are the kind that go over the belly, but I just scrunched the fabric down under my belly and it was f...

   Well, are you sure your chiropractors went to MED school, as in allopathic or osteopathic medical school? If they don't have M.D. or D.O. after their name, they most likely did not go to med school, but chiropractic school, with a D.C. after their na...

    Idiopathik replied to Clarvina Streisand's topic in General Nursing

    OK have to put in my two cents on this one, as I am still a licensed vet tech (have been for 12 years) and am 2 semesters away from my BSN. The techs posting those messages have absolutely NO IDEA what human nurses do on a daily basis. They complaine...
