    rnlately replied to CNA_Timmy's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught in LPN school to be nice to the Aides and they will bend over backwards to help when I'm in a crunch. I've found that to be mainly true. Respect is a 2 way street regardless of what...

    rnlately replied to zimsaint's topic in Excelsior College

    Don't know if this helps but I found this on the BON website http://rules.sos.state.ga.us/docs/410/7/01.pdf. It is my understanding that by endorsing in 500 work hours are not required. Anyway, I'm...

    rnlately replied to Gingerbell's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
