  1. Dirty ol' women

    jessiern posted a topic in General Nursing

    Since I've been married to a man that works at the same facilty with me, I am understanding why nursing is mostly women. Those old women are quite flirty. Just to give you guys a smirk, I though I...

  3. Is nursing hereditary?

    jessiern replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    jessiern replied to EternalStudent911's topic in General Nursing

    Most days, for me, it is worth it. When I feel like I am able to take care of my patients they way I want to. Sometimes we are too busy for that, and I hate those days. But, when patients truely...

    jessiern replied to eccentricRN's topic in General Nursing

    jessiern replied to cute_cabbage2005's topic in General Nursing

    jessiern replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing
