    Kalico replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    Do you say the same thing to other people in regards to the way they handle "petty" illegal issues? I sure hope not. This is a form of stealing in a way...Think about it a little...Most of us have...

  20. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Kalico replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing
