Hello my ... What do you call yourselves anyway. Informaticists? My story is a long one, but I will keep it short: I went to school, got my BSN and RN, but never practiced as a nurse. I did not...
I've always enjoyed physical fitness and really value taking care of my body. I was a competitive gymnast but in the process of gymnastics ruined my wrist. A few months after having to retire I was...
