    Squidpdx replied to joansmith1's topic in General Nursing

    Toxic environment

    Squidpdx replied to Pineappe's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Difficult to give you answers without more details. However, you may want to get a lawyer as well as working with the union. Not sure how things are done in Canada, but here in the US, it is always...

    Are you happy with your nursing career choice?

    Squidpdx replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    LPN losing job AND recently diagnosed with POTS.
