    The post above mine only says, "poe me," Just wondering what NICURNtobe was saying as Poe Me is someone's screen name. Just couldn't figure out what this post was supposed to mean.

  14. Anyone else see the TV ad where Gov. Rendell answers call bells in scrubs?

    opalmRN replied to oramar's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing
