Re: what are you reading?

re: "I have known a couple of nurses that were holy terrors, for that
matter."---ha! ha! That would be me!!!! Course, being a psych. nurse,
it's kind of expected...gotta be tough, many times in order to keep from
getting your head ripped off your shoulders, and before you know it,
you've got a reputation to uphold...frequently a word to an unruly
patient that I'm coming to work is all that is necessary to settle
someone down...Thanks for the laugh, Auralie!
