  9. Someone had a good idea!!

    lvnhopeful replied to natrgrrl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  13. Stedman's Medical Dictionary vs. Taber's Medical Dictionary

    lvnhopeful replied to jbjints's topic in General Students

    Our class uses Tabers, but I have found a lot of errors, and what gripes me the most, you find a word, it tells you to look for it elsewhere, and its not there. Some of the definitions are woefully...

    lvnhopeful replied to Penny8611's topic in Holistic
