    germanshep replied to marmbrusterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure you will find a job :) I just saw this posted. Up here rehab and some hospitals take your LPN experience and divide it in half to figure out RN experience (ex: 10 years LPN = 5 years RN)....

    germanshep replied to marmbrusterRN's topic in General Nursing

    germanshep replied to rstigers's topic in Nurse Management

    germanshep replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    germanshep replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    germanshep replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    OMG-I had the SAME thing, my former fundamental instructor. She was relatively close to my age, a control freak and jealous because I was more educated. She was AWFUL and one of the worst professors I...
