    jjsiegal replied to LovingNursing20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Low salary same work

    jjsiegal replied to Tiabluesky's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  8. I'm a nurse and I don't like people.

    jjsiegal replied to addylpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  9. Eating the patients' food?

    jjsiegal replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    jjsiegal replied to marquee4real's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    jjsiegal replied to MegzRNSTL's topic in Licensure: Criminal History
