I told her something somewhat similar to that, and her response was something along the lines of... "If I had marijuana in my system it could have been from 4 days or 2 weeks or longer ago, and of...
I hope I don't start any arguments/debates with this....if so, please feel more than welcome to delete! I have a friend who is in the first year of nursing school(finished pre-reqs and is in the...
Well as far as my own opinion, I think it would be fine pulled back. When I was in nursing school, dreadlocks were a big no-no, no matter how clean they were or if they were pulled back. I had wanted...
