   Headhurt replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

   Piercings

   Headhurt posted a topic in General Nursing

   For something fun and spicy, I got my "girls" pierced fairly recently. Because I am a floor nurse, and I very seldom find myself in MRI, I don't have any issues. However, my other half now wants to...
