    weetziebat replied to sphinx's topic in General Nursing

  3. Come and tell me what you think? Please :)

    weetziebat replied to Lisey's topic in General Nursing

    Alrighty, Lisey, I'll tell you what I would say if you were my daughter. When you graduate from nursing school, the license you're given is not a license that you know everything you need to know in...

  8. Lurk, Lurk....................

    weetziebat replied to jnette's topic in Home Health
