  4. just a vent about a nurse brown noser!

    MissPiggy replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Having been a nurse for over 22 years I have seen this only too many times; all I can say is that it is also a reflection upon the self esteem of the "brown-nosee", as if they were as intelligent as...

    MissPiggy replied to BellaItalianaLPN's topic in General Nursing

  9. Any ACTUAL Second Degree BSN/RN's?

    MissPiggy replied to buddhak0n's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    MissPiggy replied to jimbob7777's topic in General Nursing
