    mscsrjhm replied to LuciGirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  9. BBC TV stuff

    mscsrjhm replied to mscsrjhm's topic in International Nursing

    Lucky you. We get swamped with everything you can imagine. Capitalism. Everybody out to get a buck. I was hoping to get a t-shirt for my son-in-law "Men behaving badly". I know it is an older...

    mscsrjhm replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency
