  14. spring schedule advice please??

    xenonaut replied to butterfly135's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That may be true SixFive, and I'm not saying you don't have your own interesting gender related problems to deal with because of that, but dominance issues related to the physicality of height/gender...

  21. I've had a revelation...

    xenonaut replied to MamaT's topic in General Nursing
