   karefree replied to Roland's topic in Relations

   Wow! I was prepared for something like her preceptor telling her she wasn't cut out for the job like mine did years ago! I would tell your wife if she really is telling the whole story, that she needs to report that incident and transfer to another...

   karefree replied to Cheyenne RN,BSHS's topic in General Nursing

   Hi Mermaid! Thanks for your response! I didn't realize there are debates over the LPN/ADN/BSN thing so I apologize if I insulted anyone. I did graduate from a four year private school but the nursing program was two years. It was very tough. ...
