    wearing perfume to work

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to acaringnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Typically when i've started wheezing, people don't hear it, because i try to catch it before it's loud. And, of course, a headache or migraine cannot be seen. Luckily, we've got a strict...

    wearing perfume to work

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to acaringnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Job Interview Monday...Any advice?

    Votech or College: What is good/ bad about both?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to needhelptomakeit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Tech school here was cheaper, that was a plus. Some tech schools, however, do not qualified for federal financial aid. So far, i am finding that the college i'm going to for my RN i'm going to is way...
