    CrazyGoonRN replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with you! Also, allowing someone to become impacted because they continuously refuse a laxative is not the same thing as allowing someone to eat sweets all day. I want Brandon to give...

    LVN first and THEN RN?

    CrazyGoonRN replied to stefonee356's topic in LPN to RN
