  7. Un-necessary classes

    Kelly_the_Great replied to jschut's topic in LPN to RN

    Kelly_the_Great replied to jschut's topic in LPN to RN

    Kelly_the_Great replied to URO-RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Because a robot is easier to control than a person that is "free-thinking" with a free will. This is also a good answer to your question above. It keeps ppl from addressing the real

    Kelly_the_Great replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Kelly_the_Great replied to jschut's topic in LPN to RN

  21. things that drive me nuts...care to add??

    Kelly_the_Great replied to tampabaylpn2rn's topic in General Nursing

    Kelly_the_Great replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in General Nursing
