    Is Everybody Moving to California?

    LydiaNN replied to Sheri257's topic in California Nursing

    I grew up in a small town that still had horrible traffic problems, because the roads were one lane in each direction, and most of them were narrow. On top of that, more often than not you'd be stuck...

    Family not visiting? Common?

    LydiaNN replied to LydiaNN's topic in Pediatric

    Well, considering that it has been a sticky for a while and I think this is only post #12 or #13, there shouldn't be too many worries about overuse. This certainly wouldn't make it on to any popular...
