  18. What should your title look like?

    mina123 replied to moonshadeau's topic in General Nursing

    IMO the highest degree you have should be signed as or put next to your signature. It's no use putting Rn, Bsn, Msn and whatnot next to your name because it's just assumed if u have your Msn obviously...

  20. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    mina123 replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  21. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    mina123 replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  24. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    mina123 replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
