    sbic56 replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    No doubt Jesus was a very cool and accepting dude. I hope no one here thinks I don't know that. (And yes, I jest and minimize his greatness.) He very well could be more important than I give him...

    sbic56 replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    sbic56 replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing
