    Fonenurse replied to cariad's topic in International Nursing

    OK Cariad - lets see if I can help - which soaps and series do you want an update on? Casualty - more far fetched guts and gore from Holby City Hospital - Charlie is still there, but most of the other...

  2. Friends made from the allnurses web site

    Fonenurse replied to madwife2002's topic in International Nursing

    Fonenurse replied to chzza's topic in International Nursing
