    ozoneranger replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    ozoneranger replied to Solid Snake's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, we shared such a special moment. Then I stepped out in to the hall, booger on hand, & my fellow nurse walked up to the cart to get something. I must have had an odd expression on my face,...
