4. 5-year-old chooses heaven over hospital

   messymissy replied to anh06005's topic in Headlines

   My thoughts on this are, the parents are coping with guilt of no longer providing medial care to prolong the inevitable death of their precious child. By letting their 5 year old make the choice, it won't be the parents making the decision. Disconti...

   messymissy replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

   Ooh I love my old over weight boxer. I don't think I could have handled 2 boxers with all the spazy energy they have. Boxers are such awesome dogs, I'm sure you will enjoy raising those 2 beautiful fur babies.

   messymissy replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

   Help moving my first child of 3 out of the house and into her first apartment was more draining physically, rather than mentally. I was strong and did not cry. She did text me first this morning, just to say hi. Now that made me cry, she misses me as...

    messymissy replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    Or you can just leave it be. I got a job in the ER fresh out of school. Piercings, tattoos and all. Even worked with several other nurses that looked the same as me. Some places are more understanding (chill) when it comes to that. Some are not. It's...
