    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    One example of me taking a vaccine for the common good was when I got my pertussis/diptheria/tetorifice shot a couple years ago. I was doing so out of concern for the newborns I was caring for when in...

    SmilingBluEyes replied to missswiss44's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
