    nursingis4me replied to boyer79's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  8. LPN versus CMA

    nursingis4me replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You stated that the LPNs/RNs you worked with had the same duties as you, yet they made more money and had more authority than you. I'm sure that happened because they were able to go to school and get...

  9. Why aren't MA's licensed?

    Hopefully, you'll never have that experience, but I know that it can and does happen-based on personal work experience (18+ years work experience); people react differently to corrections-no matter...
