4. OK, so my body hurts

   CrystalinNC posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I am in my lower 40s. I've worked using my body most of my life. I became a CNA a couple of years ago, and haven't been able to do that full time due to back pain. I was hoping that by becoming an LPN, I would be able to use my body less, but I'm b...

   I didn't read through all of the comments, so this may have already been suggested....but have you tried Assisted Living? You're working with people that are in better shape overall. Sure...you will lose patients, but rarely are you working with be...

10. Telling the truth on a peer evaluation for a group project?

    If letters aren't coming until April 15th, but registration is April 13th and 14th, how do we register? On the other thread, someone said they just stick you in a class? I hope not, I have a job and need to be able to choose which classes I take. ...
