    LPNtoBSNstudent replied to nickismith72's topic in General Nursing

    LPNtoBSNstudent replied to toocaring's topic in General Nursing

    I will preface this by saying that I'm not sure what exactly your 24 hour report sheet functions as. But, I don't understand why this couldn't be taken care of by you talking to her plainly and...

  18. Fasting Blood Sugar Testing question

    LPNtoBSNstudent replied to Mazzi's topic in Patient Education

  19. How do you deal with backstabbing

    LPNtoBSNstudent replied to gladtobeOB's topic in General Nursing

    LPNtoBSNstudent replied to Nursebaby23's topic in General Nursing
