    Kooky Korky replied to degfnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    To start, think of other people with respect. What is silly to you is not to them. That's a very dismissive term and not likely to endear you or your beliefs to

    Nurse Imposters

    Kooky Korky replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing
