    Cindy_A replied to edisongirl25's topic in General Nursing

    Cindy_A replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I believe I've read that Lasik does not totally eliminate the need for glasses. So, you would still have to waer glasses, although a lower prescription. You might be able to go without glasses at...

  5. Thinking of becoming inactive for a while. Am I nuts?

    Cindy_A replied to Vtachy1's topic in Retired Nurses

    I'm not a mom, but I don't blame you for wanting to stay home with your kids, they are only young once. I also think that if that is what you and your husband agree on, then it's nobody else's...

    Cindy_A replied to MysticalSeeker's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Cindy_A replied to obicurn's topic in Indiana Nursing

    The answer to the nursing shortage isn't in putting more money in to educate new nurses, it's putting money in to KEEP the old ones. Old nurses are leaving faster than the new nurses can replace

    Cindy_A replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    If you worked in retail or another area and a man wagged his willy at you, you could have him arrested for public indecency and/or lewd and lascivious conduct. Why can't nurses do the same? I doubt...
