Hate to admit it, but smoking and smoke breaks are the only thing getting me through nursing school.... Oh how I long for those breaks during those really long, monotone, circa 1970 films we must endure once a week.... I did, however, make a new year...

Fortunatly for me my hubby is active duty army. We only pay $3.00 for all scrips, no copay on dr. visits, and $ 10.00 copay on hospital stays per day. Only problem is that we are not close to a military base, so the closest dr. in the network is al...
