    bendyprissy replied to tch1920's topic in School

    bendyprissy replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You would think that with a group of "moral, adult, professionals" you could get passionate, noncatfights, but like I said...it's Jerry Springer time! Woot! Woot! Ha

    bendyprissy replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Man did you stir up a hornets nest. I knew it would which is why I read the posts so I could see THE CLAWS COME OUT! And never fail, they did! It's like listening to a conservative talk radio show. Or...

    bendyprissy replied to BooBear'sMommy's topic in General Students

    bendyprissy replied to Bringonthenight's topic in General Nursing
