   You just wrote the story of my life! My sweat even sweats at work. I stay pretty much miserable in the summertime and you're right, management doesn't give a damn.

   Julie19 replied to winter_green's topic in General Nursing

    CNA Opinions and Experiences Q & A!!

    Anybody get accepted with a GED?

    Julie19 posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I'm getting all my paperwork together for my LPN program and it only just dawned on me how having my GED instead of a high school diploma might affect my chances of getting an acceptance letter. I've got my mind on it and now I can't stop thinking ab...
