    sasha2lady replied to mell260's topic in General Nursing

    sasha2lady replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    sasha2lady posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  5. It's tax time again

    sasha2lady replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    sasha2lady replied to sasha2lady's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    True true. At this point I've let it go but will not soon forget about it. I have suspicion that a nurse might be involved just a little. A day nurse whom I've never really cared for works my shift...
