    nursingcand replied to nursingcand's topic in General Nursing

    I don't need egotistical RNs looking to toot their own horns to teach me what the differences in scope of practice should be for LPNs versus RNs. Down to earth, realistic, HUMBLE nurses only. I...

    nursingcand replied to nursingcand's topic in General Nursing

    nursingcand replied to nursingcand's topic in General Nursing
