    Lovely_RN replied to Tony1790's topic in General Nursing

  11. BSN vs. ADN

    Lovely_RN replied to closetnerd's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Lovely_RN replied to Thor77's topic in General Nursing

    No offense taken...my ego isn't that fragile :) I just think that RNs pursuing employment in areas where there are a lot of LPNs need to be educated about scope of practice issues. If you are working...
