    greeniebean replied to littlenursingmommy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    greeniebean replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Maybe it wasn't because you were a nursing student. For some reason when you're pregnant people think it's acceptable to touch your belly. Maybe she just felt like her space was invaded. Although,...
