  2. Why Shouldn't I Tell?

    hbscott replied to kmchugh's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    "I see stupid people... They're everywhere... They walk around like everyone else... They don't even know that they're dumb..." It takes all kinds (I guess) to make the world go

  6. Dysfunctional Collaborations

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

  11. More Fights between CRNA's and AA's?

    hbscott replied to Sheri257's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
