    J-lynn replied to nurseinthenorth1's topic in School

    What MHDNURSE says really resonates with me! I am in a similar position & planning to give myself a few months to adjust. If I continue to be so stressed, I will not stay. If it's not a good...

    J-lynn replied to J-lynn's topic in School

    I am as pro-life as they come, and it has never been an issue for me...Is there some scenario you are worried about? I just don't foresee it being an issue at all. I am always careful about getting...
