  2. LTC Newbie...scared!

    Cherybaby replied to *Scrubs*'s topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Don't let anyone tell you something CAN'T be done. Do not be intimidated by someone elses perceptions. With a little practice and patience you may find yourself finishing up your medpass in the...

    Cherybaby replied to Keenay99's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Cherybaby replied to akrn70's topic in General Nursing

  10. How far would you go to help someone.

    Cherybaby replied to diane227's topic in General Nursing

    Cherybaby replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    Cherybaby replied to waitingforthedream's topic in General Nursing

    Cherybaby replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    I have to admit...early on in my career, I think I told EVERYONE that I was a nurse. That was only because I worked so hard to become one that I thought everyone should know! :) Nowadays? I keep my...

    Cherybaby replied to Nurse Blondie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
