  7. NURSES & DOCTORS - to flirt or not to flirt

    coolpeach replied to AnnaSL's topic in General Nursing

    I am still a student, but I would think it would happen a lot. My reasoning is that you spend so much time at work. I have read threads that state that most nurses basically only have time to...
