    LVN-RNhopeful replied to akr06's topic in California Nursing

    Ryan - 11 lbs is nothing - really! You can do it!! I'm serious though, once you go to MEPS to enlist, don't let them talk you into anything else. They'll try to talk you into ratings that are hard...

    LVN-RNhopeful replied to Delta_Notch's topic in General Students

  14. Why is LVN to RN a waste of time?

    LVN-RNhopeful replied to Divest's topic in General Students
