    Glenna, LPN replied to I♥Scrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  2. LPN job shadowing question

    Glenna, LPN replied to misskaramm's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Glenna, LPN replied to astronomia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Same at my community college and all of the RN/BSN programs around me are pretty much the same way. I ended up giving up on going straight for my RN. I knew that I wanted to be a nurse and I'd do...

  12. A&P 1, microbio, & psychology

    Glenna, LPN replied to cannolis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would not do A&P with Chem. That's pretty much four classes right there because of labs. I'd jump from the roof. Chem took a lot of time for me and A&P even more so. Are those the only...
