  1. Countdown to Winter Break!

    Nurse Trini replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

  3. Roll Call

    Nurse Trini replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

  4. New school nurse

    Nurse Trini replied to sistasoul's topic in School

  22. Changing male patient's brief

    Nurse Trini replied to JoMar's topic in General Nursing

    He sounds like he was going to change himself, which lends me to believe he isn't one of "those" types. I've had males get erections while doing foleys and I doubt there are a lot of people who get...

    Nurse Trini replied to Natesmom98's topic in School
