  1. Sex in a LTC...is this ok?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to AKAnurse4's topic in General Nursing

  17. What type of lifestyle can a nurse afford?

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    Who are you to say what someone's priorities "should" be? She wants to know if she'll make a decent living and be able to afford what she wants. If she said a new car or a house instead of a nose...

    DizzyLizzyNurse replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing
