    FullGlass replied to guest1182631's topic in Advanced Practice

    FullGlass replied to Myruby's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd give this a thumbs up 100x if I could. It is not our job to judge people! How many people get the flu every year because they did not get the flu vaccine? Just stop with the judgement!...
