    TLeech replied to KSU-SN's topic in General Nursing

    Just for another prospective... From the time I was 14-24, my Dad was in and out of hospitals. He would often ask me to get ice chips from for him. It wasn't that he NEEDED the ice chips right away,...

    TLeech replied to CaliSunRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    TLeech replied to jp6492's topic in Virginia Nursing
