  2. First LPN Job, 5 day orientation, 1:40+ patients...advice?

    MrsMig replied to inky-york's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    MrsMig replied to ErikaC1987's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  7. To the bedside, or correctional facility?

    MrsMig replied to mom35's topic in Correctional

    You have to follow your heart. Unfortunately, things always have a way of working out like that - you get a job offer while waiting on something else. I'd say, if you know you will be offered the...
