    milksteak replied to amroke's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    the only thing you might worry about is when you get a job- you probably will submit to a drug test. but i dont see the problem as long as you are prescribed. i think its discrimination because...

    milksteak replied to nursein2012's topic in General Students

  10. Being a mom in school

    milksteak replied to frogkicker's topic in General Students

    I'm in the same boat. My son is 1 and a half and "active" doesnt do his personality justice. I can't turn my back for a second without him climbing on the table and launching himself on the couch.. or...

  11. So you sick yet?

    milksteak replied to puravidaLV's topic in General Students

  18. worried i may need help

    milksteak replied to stephierd81's topic in Nurses Recovery
