   Berkeley replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

   No, now hold on a minute. The problems of professionalism don't include LPN issues. I don't mean to be rude, but whether or not LPNs are unified with RNs makes no difference to the profession of...

2. Why there is a debate re: ADN/BSN

   Berkeley replied to Berkeley's topic in General Nursing
