2. I'm a sexless nurse

   blackhundred replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

   blackhundred replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

   Wow. This guy is NOT saying he doesn't want to do his job. He is saying he RESPECTS a females preference, where it exists, to be treated intimately by another female. I'm so disappointed in these...

10. Nursing...Decisions, Decisions

    blackhundred replied to chinadoll88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

11. Interview Question Answer

    blackhundred replied to Schweet's topic in First Year After Licensure
