    smartnurse1982 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    smartnurse1982 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    smartnurse1982 replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You do know Cna's are not licensed nurses? My lpn program was 12 months long. Not sure why you added that anyone who does not want to go to school longer than 6 months to a year should become a

    smartnurse1982 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    smartnurse1982 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    smartnurse1982 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    smartnurse1982 replied to Nibbles1's topic in Private Duty
