   midwestsrna1 replied to MmacFN's topic in CRNA

   Would you think it was funny if someone wrote that your personality was as blank as a chalkboard? I for one would not and would be very interested to find out who had posted that about me. I haven't tried it yet but there is a good chance that post...
