  2. Did anyone read this article?

    ChristyMNOP replied to pannie's topic in General Nursing

  3. Clean vs Sterile Technique

    ChristyMNOP replied to Mommy TeleRN's topic in General Nursing

  4. Smelling Cancer?

    ChristyMNOP replied to MikeyJ's topic in General Nursing

  10. Need some guidance about my future

    ChristyMNOP replied to ChristyMNOP's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your advice. I see a lot of merit in doing that, but I have some other factors that make a difference too. I get money for school from the government that will run out in a certain amount...
