    Hoping LVN2BSN replied to ebsf's topic in General Nursing

    EBSF, It sounds like you do have a lot of doubts, maybe you should do some more thinking. I am an LVN student now married with a one year old baby girl, and my husband is in the Navy on deployment...

    Hoping LVN2BSN replied to catzy5's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hoping LVN2BSN replied to niki816's topic in General Nursing

  12. kicked out of school- failed professionalism!

    Hoping LVN2BSN replied to m_lanham's topic in General Nursing

  13. kicked out of school- failed professionalism!

    Hoping LVN2BSN replied to m_lanham's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry Lizz, I disagree. There are plenty of basic things we students can tell are wrong. Handwashing does not look like a priority at my clinical facility. I have seen ALL levels of staff...
