Nursing is my second career, and I'm so glad I made the change. I don't always love it, but most of the time I do.

    Trouble c accents at work?

    Ado Annie replied to Suninmyheart's topic in General Nursing

    The quiz says I'm "Midland" and therefore don't really have an accent. I thought as much, though I grew up in Oklahoma and I do know people "back home" who sound fairly southern/western. As far as...

    Is Drug Addiction a Disease?

    Ado Annie replied to loricatus's topic in General Nursing
