4. Professional women HELP!!!!

   semstr replied to joyrochelle's topic in General Nursing

   You have to make amends. You can't have all in life, or better said, not all things at the same time. Once you decide to have kids with your partner, they are the most important things there are. Your carreer is very important too of course, but so i...

   semstr replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

   OMG! Feel so sorry for all the women going through this ordeal, as it is so hard already, but being "kicked out" after 48 hours is the pits! Here women can stay at least 7 days, most of the time longer, after the stitches come out and then they get h...

10. Cheating In School
