1. Role of LPN/LVN in oncology

   Jimmydaves replied to NurseBlueBear's topic in Oncology

   Are there many job opportunities for LVN/LPN's in Oncology or a cancer treatment center? So far, all of the job listings for nurses in Oncology have been for RN's.

2. Where do most LVN's/LPN's work?

   Jimmydaves replied to Jimmydaves's topic in General Nursing

3. Where do most LVN's/LPN's work?

9. Help me decide between 2 Nursing schools

   Jimmydaves replied to Jimmydaves's topic in General Nursing

   Kylea, I agree with your assessment and that's what I'd really want to do. I feel that it's easier to do the LVN and then the LVN to RN Route. In Texas where they accepted me into their LVN Program, I originally applied for the RN program, but my pre...
