   Scrubs color requirement??

   CelticGoddess replied to Kendrer's topic in General Students

   Witchcraft Resurgence

   CelticGoddess replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

   To be fair, this is a southern thing. People, even men in their 50's call their mothers mama and their fathers daddy. Hell, I'm from Chicago and I call my dad daddy. It's regional.

    CelticGoddess replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing
