7. recent LPN what do I need to do to get into ER?

   mtruland replied to Buckyxj's topic in Emergency

   Having RNs is just easier. They're allowed to do much more than LPNs, and don't require the same supervision as an LPN would (from an RN). I'm in a two-year program to get my RN. After one year, they...
