I also really like these pens, and no they don't bleed thru paper. They are rather expensive $4-$7 for 2 pens depending on if you get the retractable ones or not. But these pens don't go thru carbon copies, wish they did!
I graduated last year with my LPN, I have had my license for a year now. For you, you would think it would be easier d/t being RN's, but it is still tough. When I graduated I worked at one nursing home/ assisted living as an aide, but there were no n...

Cherokee Body scrubs are really nice. They have a knit stretch cotton panel on each side of the tops. I just bought one of the tops and it is comfortable. I have a pair of the pants and they are one of my favorites.

I would suggest trying Exam Cram. The book is really straight forward and easy to learn from. Get the book that has informational chapters, not just the questions (there are 2 different books). I took my boards today and I used mostly this and some o...

I graduated from Brown Mackie in Fort Wayne earlier this year. Certain aspects of that school, such as the financial aid department were absolute chaos most of the time. I did not like the fact that they let every single person off the street into th...
