   FirewalkerRN replied to rach_nc_03's topic in General Nursing

   LMAO!!! Thats good stuff!!! I still have mine and I am proud to have it. I used to wear it on my ID badge but stopped for fear of losing it. I think a better idea for mine is to make a shadow box for that / diploma / first original license. Scott
