    RN2BENAUSTIN replied to RN2BENAUSTIN's topic in General Nursing

    RN2BENAUSTIN replied to RN2BENAUSTIN's topic in General Nursing

    Selke...I think that was uncalled for...even if English was not my primary language (which it is) was your comment necessary? Did you really even read any of my follow up posts on this thread? I would...

    RN2BENAUSTIN replied to RN2BENAUSTIN's topic in General Nursing
