  1. What would you do if you were Nurse Ratched?

    billyboblewis replied to purple_nomad's topic in General Nursing

    billyboblewis replied to teetyme's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  16. VENT: school still ruining my life after graduation

    billyboblewis replied to fiveofpeep's topic in First Year After Licensure

  17. Is It Possible An LPN Can Make More Then An RN?

    billyboblewis replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing
