Have you ever fallen in love? If it was anything like when I started to feel something for my husband, you were nervous as all hell. I wanted everything to go right. And, any misstep or problem...

Just curious...is the cancer patient white and the SSC patient black? Just curious. Is suspicion of drug seeking ever driven by a patient's race? Just a reminder...Med-Surg nurses are charged...

I've heard the average age of a nursing student is 30. Impirical evidence from my program suggests that's true. I'm 32.

I'll get it done. I always get it done. Maybe just writing this thread with provide me with the catharsis of talking to my peers and help me get through reviewing for the final exam that marks the...
