3. 100 miles an hour to nowhere

   Bluefamily replied to MBar1's topic in Recovery

   Was that an original published complete work? The piece read like it was part of a larger work or an excerpt taken out of context. I'm confused about the purpose of the writing. Did I miss the thesis statement?

11. Have you worked with a GOAT in healthcare?

    Bluefamily replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing
