  2. unfair writeups

    michelle95 replied to surfnbeagle's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    michelle95 replied to JoniL&DRN's topic in General Students

  15. LPN's who can't pass NCLEX-RN??

    michelle95 replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds really odd to me. I've known several LPNs that became RNs. I would think it would be easier to pass RN boards after having been an LPN first...but, oh
