    Marie_LPN, RN replied to brown eyed girl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hate Peds?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to gdelrosa's topic in General Students

    The reason why i loved my peds rotation was the kids. That was the only reason. Some of the PARENTS (and i use that term loosely) on the other hand were something else. There were a few that...
