  13. Hey kmph, you're okay and what I mean by okay is that in this moment, you are okay. On the lower end of the pyramid it sounds like you've got food, shelter, and some security. Because you have these...
  14. Oh and Trish- I think a new thread on the "avoiding the truth" concept would be a great one! That type of discussion could be very helpful to nurses coming through here who are actively using but...

  22. Would you be a guardian angel?
