  2. I can't get a job!!

    Nurse GreenBean replied to ThatBLURN's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse GreenBean replied to Slipping CMA's topic in General Nursing

  10. First job interview at a residential treatment center!

    Nurse GreenBean replied to NursePoopyPants's topic in Addictions

    Nurse GreenBean replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You may think what you like. I don’t play with the poor logic of false dichotomies which is what you’ve paid out here. They’re a lateral step away from totally uncredible biased sources and not...
