  1. charge responsibility?

    danielleRN76 replied to gentle's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that there is a much deeper problem if so many people hate being charge. We never have that problem on any of the floors that I have worked on. Maybe too much is expected of them and the nurse...

    danielleRN76 replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

  4. IV Cardiac Meds

    danielleRN76 replied to Lylesmom's topic in General Nursing

    danielleRN76 replied to jjjoy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  8. LPN vs RN - serious question about differences

    danielleRN76 replied to jjjoy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was an LPN for 7 yrs before becoming an RN and I never really thought there was much difference until I was an RN. My education was much deeper and my critical thinking was amazingly different once...
