   joyfullpn replied to LPNTOBE2015's topic in Connecticut

   I went to Stone. I feel the program was ok. Of course there are others who felt poorly about the program but if you make a real effort you will do fine! My only complaint was the tuition. It was very expensive compared to the state programs.

11. What are the details of ER nursing?

    joyfullpn posted a topic in Emergency

    In my LPN program we didn't have an ER rotation. I know that in most hospitals this would be more of an RN role. What I know now is based on personal experience going to the ER. In my situation there was one nurse that takes the vitals then puts you ...
