    z's playa replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    z's playa replied to nurse051's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    z's playa replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I should quit my job when school starts and take out loans to ease the stress of it? I don't think that putting yourself into debt is the key either. Is there anyone you can talk to? Perhaps...

    z's playa replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

  13. LPN's vs. RN's

    z's playa replied to scoley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's ok. This is a rather hot topic and sometimes these types of thread subjects get blown waaaaaaay out of proportion. We have one of these at least once a week. When we see things like : Rn's seem...

    z's playa replied to NicInNC's topic in General Nursing

    z's playa replied to BeachNurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare
