  7. Why is it so easy to get an LPN or ADN so easily riled up?

    Kylea replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    I really didn't want to add to the bruhaha....but. I can say, at least for my part, the only time I get upset when someone makes a blanket statement about LPN vs RN is when someone assumes that I...

  14. Patient doesn't know he's terminal

    Kylea replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Nursing

    I agree and disagree with the OP's situation. On the one hand, I would never outright lie to a patient. On the other, I have been in that situation. When a family member very close to me was...
