    ladycody replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    ladycody replied to nursej22's topic in Disaster Preparation

  15. COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    ladycody replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are certainly not alone. I have family and friends that live in the land of BS....and it's at the point where I'm willing to cut ties with many. I'm incredibly disappointed with humanity right...

    ladycody posted a topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics
