   travel2lv replied to travel2lv's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks everybody, for the advice. As soon as I finish this note I'm going to try to get some answers, perhaps ncsbn (thanks JennyP). I don't mind working under an LPN if it is legal, I do worry about medtechs though. They will be getting lots of...
