  4. Are second semester RN students allowed to take lpn boards?

    redwinggirlie replied to sandie523's topic in General Nursing

    The program I attended allowed you to take the LPN after a year and about six people in my class did. None of them worked as an LPN though as that last semester really took a lot of dedication. If...

    redwinggirlie replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

  9. The Pain Scale - too subjective IMO

    redwinggirlie replied to FZ1Tom's topic in General Nursing

  10. Do families HAVE to suffer while in school?

    redwinggirlie replied to carlalogan's topic in General Nursing

    redwinggirlie replied to CseMgr1's topic in Activism, Healthcare
