    My 16-year-old wants a navel piercing

    goats'r'us replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    "Pardon Me, May I Kiss Your Feet?" Stories of doctors who want to rule the Earth

    goats'r'us posted a topic in Nursing Humor

    goats'r'us replied to elainebenes's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What Is Your Biggest Weakness?

    goats'r'us replied to RN2B07's topic in General Nursing
