    Acosmo27 replied to HyperSaurus, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Acosmo27 replied to charmbee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  5. Why do I get yelled at for doing the correct thing??

    Acosmo27 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Your rationale for the reason the OP shouldnt carry her drug book is absurd. And I think you're being WAY to literal. Do you actually think she carries her giant drug book in her back pocket?...

    Acosmo27 replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Acosmo27 replied to redeyefan214's topic in General Nursing
