    DogWmn replied to coffee4metech's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    DogWmn replied to what2donow's topic in General Nursing

  8. Health Care Reform

    DogWmn replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    DogWmn replied to Tony1790123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If your going back for your RN I'd ditch the full time job unless they pay for schooling, I'd heard the VA is good about that but I don't know it to be true. Investigate before you

    DogWmn replied to Prado's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    DogWmn replied to DogWmn's topic in Retired Nurses
