   jonear2 replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

   As an outsider, I am getting mixed messages from the nurses here. On one hand, I hear people demanding respect for a challenging and technical profession and being offended when they are called waitresses (even in jest). On the other hand I see them ...

4. Crazy Eyes

   jonear2 replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing
