6. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

   Piglet08 replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   I don't feel it's safe to say "the only thing and RN has over (an LPN) is more money". I've met LPN's that were great and RN's that were not. And vice versa. At a certain level of care, nursing...

8. Are C's really the new A's in nursing school?

   Piglet08 replied to nursingstudent2458's topic in General Students

    Piglet08 replied to lweave2's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Find a career counselor. Not a shill for a private college that wants to sign you up. I mean, someone who can discuss your background and interests with you and help you consider options. There...

15. Does it sound like I can get my job back?

    Piglet08 replied to hfullerCNA's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No one has to deactivate facebook to keep their jobs. If it weren't a FB post causing her to lose her job, it would have played out some other way, because she was right in the thick of misbehavior...
