    2BS Nurse replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    My path is also the reverse. Like health care, working in education has its own challenges. What you will give up is earning potential. What you will gain is weekends, holidays and summers off!!! Good...

    2BS Nurse replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Novel Coronavirus: Month Two

    2BS Nurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Disaster Preparation
