    SAHMU4IA replied to madisent's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  18. Are these feelings normal?

    SAHMU4IA replied to HopeJade's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This caught my eye. Do NOT let the math part of Pharm scare you. It's all very SIMPLE math in drug calculations. Go pick up a book on "Medical Mathmatics"..It will be a very thin book! I think you...

    SAHMU4IA replied to DarciaMoonz's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  23. Any Lpn's that would never become a RN?

    SAHMU4IA replied to kgard7777's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah, this rings true for me. Allthough I am a new LVN, the incentive I have been given if I should day for a year, puts me just a bit below the hourly rate of an RN. As it should be, I might
