  17. How long did it take you to feel comfortable in LTC?

    Butterflybee replied to vanilmil's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    From what Ive heard from others, you need to give yourself more time because you can do it, it just takes time and it's hard for most of us in the beginning. Like i said, that's what i heard. Except...

    Butterflybee replied to GaMBA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Awww dear, you dont need to feel like that. We have ALOT in common. My friend who is an RN and has more than one degree had a VERY difficult time finding a job. It just depends that's all. My friends...

    Butterflybee replied to GaMBA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
