    Gum Chewing

    sissiesmama replied to NinetyNine's topic in General Nursing

    I thought it was just me. I am not a person who chews gum, partly because my teeth are sensitive, and in part because my mom didn't like it when we were growing up. I can find other things to get my...

    sissiesmama replied to VerbalGrl715's topic in General Nursing

    Is it true about the poo?

    sissiesmama replied to gaia1214's topic in Nursing Humor

    Gum Chewing

    sissiesmama replied to NinetyNine's topic in General Nursing
