  13. Domestic Violence Survivor.

    RNin2007 replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    If anyone is attention seeking I would have to say it is you Happy-ER-RN. You obviously made a sweeping generalization and are quick to judge others. You have labeled the OP as a "victim" and assume...

    RNin2007 replied to babyphat's topic in General Nursing
