    COVID Vaccine Safety

    GrumpyRN replied to PPediRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    GrumpyRN replied to TraumaRN52's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Legal & State, Local Law Enforcement

    GrumpyRN replied to Nursing career professional's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What??? Sorry but none of this makes sense - meaning I cannot understand what you are saying. Paragraphs and grammar may help and also perhaps shorten it to main points. Of course as you...

    Star Trek Nurse

    GrumpyRN replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor
