    hbscott replied to LPN-n-2005's topic in General Nursing

  9. Divorce & Nursing

    hbscott replied to NorthStar's topic in General Nursing

  11. Divorce & Nursing

    hbscott replied to NorthStar's topic in General Nursing

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

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    When I do a Google Search on your "no more Bush" phrase (twice posted now) I see there is a repeated and persistent reference to shaved pubic hair. I assume this is the veiled reference you are...
