    I'm a Man, Can I be Successful as An OB Nurse

    Glycerine82 replied to AlmostANurse321's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Glycerine82 replied to olamuri's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I would just scope it out and see what ends up looking like it could work for a space that you could pray in. I wouldn't say anything to your manager, as horrible as that sounds. Although it's not...

    Glycerine82 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm a new LPN working in a SNF with a sub-acute rehab wing. The LPN scope in my state (SC) is relatively vague. I'm curious if the polices and procedures in a facility can be assumed to be within...
