    Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    Wild Irish LPN replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    What is the point of becoming a nurse?!

    Wild Irish LPN replied to newRN121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do nurses have a responsibility to keep their Facebook professional?

    Wild Irish LPN replied to Bortaz's topic in Nursing Professionalism
