  9. Your Worst Mistake

    medsurgnurse replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing

    medsurgnurse replied to schroeders_piano's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you! A PA for goodness sake in someplaces is a Bachelors degree, and the student had the nerve to talk to you that way. Any more lip and I'd go one better, I'd have talk with his

    medsurgnurse replied to estrogen's topic in General Nursing
