    deemarys replied to Ab0903's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    deemarys replied to mae40's topic in LPN to RN

    deemarys posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Is that good. I have to admit, I had to do a search on a few of the questions because I was not sure. I checked and saw that I still got the question wrong; so I guess doing the search is useless....
