    floridanurse1983 replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

    floridanurse1983 replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

    floridanurse1983 replied to N.U.R.S.E.'s topic in Nursing Humor

  18. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    floridanurse1983 replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wonder if they really look at their logic. They hate the idea of a risk of autism. But there is also a risk of death from the actual disease. Makes me want to ask them: Do you hate autistic kids...
