  2. Expired CNA license,& attend lpn school

    luvmy2angels replied to belindam's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    It is my understanding that you must re-take the exam. You do not have to re-take the course, just the exam and I am sure there is a small fee to do so, I can't believe it would be more than $20-$30....

  3. Full tim job, unemployment 4 lpn school

    luvmy2angels replied to belindam's topic in New Jersey Nursing

  7. How to deal with a tough clinical instructor

    luvmy2angels replied to luvmypatients's topic in General Students

    This may sound stupid, but I think they are trying to toughen you up, ruffle your feathers and see how far they can push you. I know it seems unfair to do that to you while you are in school and...
