   Wheels28 replied to bounjour's topic in General Nursing

13. Dropping the "Nurse Card"?

    Wheels28 replied to RNJay_'s topic in General Nursing

    I wish I could like the post above a 100x.. There no reason to talk and drive, nothing is that important. The person talking on the phone won't be any good to the person on the other end if they are...

14. Miserable nurses

    Wheels28 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing
