   Pharmboy518 replied to monimont30's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I would say you know better than anyone. You're the only one ultimately that will be doing it. I can tell you... It is possible. I'm a single father with a 6 year old and I've had to sacrifice a lot this year... not being involved in his school as mu...

   Pharmboy518 replied to beeenieweeenie, RN's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Pharmboy518 posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I just started the LPN program yesterday and needless to say - it is a bit overwhelming. I had planned on working while in the program to help support myself and my son (I'm also a single father), but most people I have talked to advise against it, e...
