4. Think I could get fired for this.....

   MamaTheNurse replied to luvmy2angels's topic in Nursing

   MamaTheNurse replied to steffck's topic in Nursing

   there is a 5 day novena that you can do that involves St Therese "The Little Flower" - among other things, you say a little prayer that asks for her to "please pick a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me with a message of love" and for her...

    BTW, did any of those Pollyanna/do-gooder/losers who posted that this thread and the ER nurses who contributed and those of us who aren't ER nurses but laughed our butts off anyway were "mean" even read the disclaimer that preceded the OP's post?
