   kamelkillr replied to RNPATL's topic in Government

   kamelkillr replied to tucker2008's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Hello, I am in the same boat with learning the care plan... it is different from the way I learn years ago when I started out as a flight medic. We did not go over the "how to's" in class so I am just winging it. Good luck to you Tucker... you are n...
