    msdobson replied to dcnballmom's topic in General Nursing

    msdobson replied to sarahlm's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Sarah! :welcome: I am 44 years old, and face the same type of situation as you. I decided to follow the LPN route, simply because of the availability and time issues in front of me. Money was not...

  12. Meds...Where to Start

    msdobson replied to msdobson's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  14. Quick question......How hard?...

    msdobson replied to momgrad5/07's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    msdobson replied to swallowtail's topic in International Nursing

    msdobson replied to msdobson's topic in California Nursing
