I have to conduct a mini research project for my cultural anthropology class, and I have chosen to research the lives of Psychiatric nurses. I would greatly appreciate anyone who would be willing to...
Ok thank you. No I don't have children so that should make things easier :) I was thinking of doing the weekend opp too but still unsure if I want to work every weekend and doubles at that. I may have...
I was curious to know how many patients and what the exact responsibilities of LPN's are in LTCF's. I have worked in assisted living passing meds, doing tube feedings, things of this nature, and I was...
I'd like to hear from some of you nurses out there about what area you like the best in nursing. I have scheduled a time to job-shadow in the hospitals to see what area I might like to work in before...

Where did I say I had a LPN or RN license? Nowhere did I mention that I was licensed as a LPN or RN, just made a statement that I do the same thing an LPN does at my job- nothing false in that...
