    Hesitation to become a nurse student

    twinmommy+2 replied to mushroomTinybear's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That completely depends on you and you alone. Personally, if I were just entering nursing school I would still complete it. Covid is only one risk of being a nurse, we have a huge risk of abuse,...

    Nurse bringing child to work

    twinmommy+2 replied to adclay's topic in General Nursing
