    What's up with this RN?

    Emergent replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone. I managed okay, but did check in often, mainly out of habit. Since this site is a creative outlet for me, ideas would pop in my head for threads, but then I'd think "Oh darn, the site is...
