    somenurse replied to mysixlittleones's topic in School

    somenurse replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    Whats your favorite montra or saying?

    somenurse replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    If that is too small to read, one of my favorite mantras is "ATTITUDE IS 90% of EVERYTHING!!" Others favorites include great quotes about perservance. http://www.quotegarden.com/perseverance.html...

    somenurse replied to Topher53's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    somenurse replied to NurseNeedsHelpPlease's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hair follicle testing??

    somenurse replied to NurseNeedsHelpPlease's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hair follicle testing??

    somenurse replied to NurseNeedsHelpPlease's topic in Nurses Recovery
