    Mystery5 replied to earthlovers123's topic in General Nursing

    My husband's written English also appeared less than perfect because English spelling is very difficult and also he had trouble with articles. Since he came over here in his early 30's he really never...

    Mystery5 replied to earthlovers123's topic in General Nursing
