  6. My best friend puts down being a nurse

    saskrn replied to mindfulnursingbabe's topic in General Students

  13. Why your avatar?

    saskrn replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    I'm using an avatar from allnurses. It's Freddy Kruger, obviously. I chose him because he's burned and so am I. Also, I like his stupid sense of humor. :) I wish we could see the avatars here...

  14. Bored on weekdays!

    saskrn replied to cblue152's topic in General Nursing

    saskrn replied to alaskaman's topic in General Nursing

  21. Singlism in the workplace

    saskrn replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing
