    SarasotaRN2b replied to iheartnurses's topic in New York Nursing

    SarasotaRN2b replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    SarasotaRN2b replied to gkbroaro's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So true, it goes both

  19. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    SarasotaRN2b replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing
