    Summers_Off replied to SweetBabyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Summers_Off replied to sourapril's topic in General Nursing

    Summers_Off replied to defhalotones's topic in General Students

    I am not trying to be mean, but I am just wondering (and your school administration might too) why you kept FT hours at your job if you didn't even need it? After the first bad grade or two, why did...

  19. Most ridiculous patient requests?

    Summers_Off replied to AOx1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
