   newnurse_12 replied to faithfl's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    newnurse_12 replied to newnurse_12's topic in Job Hunt

    Thank you, for your input! I live in a smaller town than Tampa with less options! It is great to get some inside info about nursing homes. I thought if it had 1 or 2 stars that it had to be a horrible place to work! Yes, I know you're probably right ...
