    *ac* replied to jtk57's topic in Maryland Nursing

    *ac* replied to mama_d's topic in General Nursing

  15. Prescription narcotics or benzodiazepines while working?

    *ac* replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

  24. Does "your" instead of "you're" drive anyone else nuts?

    *ac* replied to *ac*'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm not judging anyone. I'm not the greatest speller and some of my charting grammar is atrocious. I have rarely corrected anyone. Some posts on this site are beyond correction, anyway. Many,...
