  1. How did you obtain your 1st LPN position?

    FocusRN replied to szccdw's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am not an LPN yet, but you may want to check http://www.salary.com, they usually have very accurate payrates. You can use their service for free, but the more detail you go into the more accurate...

  3. Time to do the right thing again. (Cheater selling EC test answers...)

    FocusRN replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

  5. Kansas no longer accepting EC

    FocusRN replied to willtm's topic in Online Distance Learning

    FocusRN replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Okay and so what? That has nothing to do with the last few pages of this thread. If someone doesn't like her well they don't have to post in reply to her. Why even read it? That to me is trolling, if...
