    Good for you, girl. I don't blame you one bit. Places like that will cause you to lose your license. It's not worth

    LPN1974 replied to louloubell1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, well, well. I always thought Arkansas was the backward state. Most people seem to think it is. I think I'm GLAD I live in Arkansas now, if what you all say is true. I really did not know what...
