    Maybe it was the way you framed the question, or maybe it's the personal details you are divulging about other people that make it seem intrusive. Personally, I could do without reading gossip about...

    Wow- I hope that's for semester hours, and not quarter hours. I hear you regarding paying more for a great education. I paid out the nose for my BSN (private institution), but it was totally worth...

    A Frustrated Nurse Writes About Poor Conditions in Evacuee Shelters

    BBFRN replied to cpkRN's topic in General Nursing

    lpn- the OP said she didn't write the letter. I think it's not true, and Snopes will eventually put it through the smell test, I hope. I volunteered at a local shelter after Katrina, and didn't see...
