  4. Is it ever okay to wear

    LongislandRN23 replied to TickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    LongislandRN23 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    LongislandRN23 replied to purse's topic in General Nursing

    LongislandRN23 replied to LNDRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LongislandRN23 replied to tntrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

  14. Terminated over the phone.

  15. Are you an organ donor?

    LongislandRN23 replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

  17. Why do so many nurses from the Philippines come to Canada/USA?

    LongislandRN23 replied to lilaclover's topic in Philippines

  20. Should second-hand smoke be illegal in a home with children?

    LongislandRN23 replied to starzrn's topic in General Nursing
