  1. Is your loved one sick of hearing nursing stuff?

    Bobylon replied to melisgood's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I also believe he's acting selfishly, for lack of a better word. My wife has no problems listening to my story-of-the-day...of course, it helps immensely that she's in the medical field also...

  2. Nurses who smoke marijuana

    Bobylon replied to e4c5's topic in General Nursing

    Ummmm, dunno where you live, but in my state, it's not a right, it's illegal.... Again, it's an illegal drug at the moment, and alcohol is not ..... although, for all the misery alcohol has and...

  3. Relationships between diagnosis and co-morbidities

    Bobylon replied to sassychassy8503's topic in General Students

    Bobylon replied to Nnifer75's topic in General Students

    Bobylon replied to jjbutterflyjj's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  9. Passed my first fundamentals exam!!!

    Bobylon replied to BBStubbles's topic in General Students

    Bobylon replied to Dottie78's topic in Male Nursing Students

  25. I think I bombed my first test!!

    Bobylon replied to LPN_thts_M3's topic in LPN, LVN Students
