    NicInNC replied to GM1987's topic in General Nursing

    NicInNC replied to NicInNC's topic in Oncology

    Hi Kelly, I never thought about a radio station! What a great idea! If I had to choose one place for the money to go, I would LOVE for it to go to St. Judes. Those "infomercials" always left me crying...

  15. tell me a story that ends in "i can't believe they just did that!"

    NicInNC replied to goats'r'us's topic in General Nursing

    I was one of the people that didn't believe in SIDS. I always thought it was an excuse for people that killed their own babies. Now I'm a firm believer that it really is a true syndrome. It's hard to...

  21. Cna Questions And Requirments

    NicInNC replied to spoiledbrat0627's topic in General Nursing
