  9. Is 28 too old to become a travel nurse?

    abixxy replied to jchristine89's topic in Travel

  13. Is this reasonable or just over the top?

    abixxy replied to Lakeshore18's topic in General Nursing

    abixxy replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Western Governors University

  21. Helping patients kill themselves

    abixxy replied to Cwoods's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
