  1. Hospice

    texan2011 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    texan2011 replied to 2brn09's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    No I am not a nurse. I have a regular job. I am taking one course at a time and enjoying the pace so long as I have time to visit my children and grandson. Perhaps I will get my BSN in a few years....
