    Flare replied to kd2010's topic in General Nursing

    Flare replied to jennifers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't work OB, but I think that's a harsh comment. I don't think people don't take their newborns due to laziness (sure, maybe that's some people's motivation) but rather a chance to get some much...

    Physicals for Obese Students

    Flare replied to Allie911's topic in School
