    LA_StudentNurse replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in Private Duty

    All girls' school...last I heard, it was mixed. There were male and females at the MSMU LVN-RN orientation last year. I don't think the program is gender specific.

    LA_StudentNurse replied to wonderbee's topic in General Nursing

    I will ask you a question. If you are a distant learning student and need a proctor for tests...could you proctor yourself? No...you cannot sign off on yourself. What say you all. Best to

    LA_StudentNurse replied to Okechi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    LA_StudentNurse replied to 4Karrie2's topic in Pediatric
