    DesertRain replied to Mike1974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay call me silly, and this is where everyone thinks I am just a tad "paranoid" but I'm one of those people who always thinks I will be tagged for something I'm not doing or didn't do--LOL. When I...

    DesertRain replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
