    VampyrSlayer replied to LuffyXD's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    VampyrSlayer replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Certificate at risk

    VampyrSlayer replied to Diamon1982's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It most certainly is not abandonment. She did not take on any patients, didn't receive report, and didn't accept a change in her case. She should be in the clear. They probably just didn't want you to...

  21. Tell me why you regret about becoming a Nurse

    VampyrSlayer replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing
