  1. Sometimes I hate being the nurse in the family

    colleennurse replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the throwing up thing has to do with being a mom. I am not a mom, but I remember when I was a kid, it was my mom who cleaned up and took care of us kids when we were sick. And she is not a...

    colleennurse replied to Pinky05's topic in General Nursing

    colleennurse replied to ladybugsea's topic in General Nursing

    colleennurse replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    colleennurse replied to Bala Shark's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    colleennurse replied to roro13us's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    colleennurse replied to courtney779's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
