A lady at my old office had a sign that I think of when I kinda get discouraged. It says: PUT ON YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES AND DEAL WITH IT. When I think of that it makes me laugh. It is great you went...
I do know what an MA is, they updated the page from the time I put it here and the time you obviously looked at it. If you do a search they DO have MA's. My best friend is an MA at Holmes so I am not...

Actually, I was told by 4 different nurse managers at several local hospitals that they are not hiring anymore LPN's so it wasn't a rumor I heard. It was from the people who are in charge of doing the...
When I was looking into going back to school for nursing, I called local hospitals about becoming an LPN. I was quickly told, and several times by several hospitals, that LPN positions were being done...
I am sorry to hear about your situation. LPN positions are being done away with in my area as well. I did a search at a medical staffing company in columbus and found this....
