    cardiacfreak replied to Alexx_xox's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  9. Are you discerning with your "likes"?

    cardiacfreak replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I purposely read every post and did not "like" one because now Klone has me doing some self reflection. Do I like people's posts because they have liked mine? Do I like posts because EVERY body else...
