The school I went to, which is the same at all tech schools in wi, the 1st year of the RN program is the LPN program. So in order to get to the 2nd year of the RN program you must complete the LPN program. When you complete the 1st year you are able ...

Ray, Roy and Robert are our most popular 7 of the all on the same unit, 2 in the same room, all in rooms 8-16 in a facility of 47 people. Much easier to call them by their last names (mr smith, mr jones etc) too many R's it can get confusing!

Last semester I did my ethics paper on organ transplant. It is an issue that is very easy to find materal on. (I got an A with out to much effort)

When I was a kid grandma always told us to eat our carrots so we'd have red hair. I never did like carrots and am the only granddaughter without red hair. She also said the carrots would give us good vision so we wouldn't need glasses. (I got glasses...

madmominavan: wow, guess the name says it all

we got a doughnut and coffee reception with our residents, a facility t-shirt and a hand written thank-you note from the administrator. Certainly didn't brake the bank (I work in a small LTC facility) but it was nice

the 'fact' that the op is stating is "one quarter of all drivers on the road at any one time in wi are drunk" is what got my goat. i just heard the report on the news a little while ago and the study stated that 25% of those polled replied that they ...

Sorry, I live in Wisconsin and find that information not only disturbing but completely false! 25% on wisconsin drivers intoxicated? sorry I don't think so. Even at bar closing that seems quite excessive to me. This basically is calling wisconsi...

Just graduated in Dec. 80 is a C 79 is an F some of you have low grading scales. Our school has around 98% pass rate on NCLEX I guess that is more important to me.

I had what was to have been a lap chole done nearly 3 weeks ago, ended up with 2 lg incisions and 2 lap incision with 15 staple total and went back to work 10 days post-op. Probably shouldn't have gone back that soon (I was very sore after that 1st s...
