    When Your Patient Wants To Talk Politics

    Davey Do replied to KC,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Too bad for us men. In my four decade career, I never had to deal with a flirtatious female. Not once. I figured it was because women don't have hormones and never behave...

    allnurses' netiquette

    Am I fired? CNA Checking Blood Sugar

    Davey Do replied to oldie's topic in General Nursing
