  2. I failed out of nursing school midway, now what?

    LPNDebbie replied to Jkliu888's topic in General Students

  3. I HATE Working as a CNA in a Nursing Home (RN student)

    LPNDebbie replied to Shookclays's topic in General Students

    I am an LPN who has also worked in a nursing home alongside CNA's and RN's. The CNA's and nurses said the negative things that you mentioned. If you leave your current job, you will get that attitude...

    LPNDebbie replied to LPNDebbie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I really focused on the nsbcn website more than anything. Once you skim through everything, do the group of questions at the end. I did these and was thinking, "this isn't anything I learned". I got...

    LPNDebbie replied to MerrieCNA's topic in LPN, LVN Students
