2. Questions for LPN's

   ask23 replied to DreamyEyes's topic in LPN/LVN

   No I was never a CNA before nursing school. I think I got enough experience in clinicals. I worked part time during school. I applied to only one school and luckily got in.

   Congrats on working on your LPN. Don't let other people knock you down. You are doing what you need to do for yourself. LPN's can get jobs. Hang in there.

    ask23 replied to Love_nursing's topic in Orthopaedic
