    Metron posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    Metron replied to MomBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Metron replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Metron replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I started this thread because I wanted to talk to nurses with ADD. Please save the "overabused" or "it doesn't exist" argument for another thread. I deal with these myths enough in everyday

  7. Difference Between a New Nurse and an Old Nurse

    Metron replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Nursing Humor

  8. How many of you were CNAs before become a Nurse?

    Metron replied to itsme2005's topic in General Nursing

    I was a CNA first and I think its the only way to go. You get some exposure to the field and get to test whether you like it or not. Also, it really gives you a heads up on nursing

    Metron replied to closatssl1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Chancellor's is alot cheaper than Rue or the College Network. They have a one week lab that you can go to that increased the pass rate of the CPNE from 60% to 92%. I'm an LPN with experience and a...

    Another Mc'D's story - My husband used to work in a little Mc Donald's in the back of a wal-mart. The most hated times in his life were when the toy in the happy meal was a beanie baby. people would...

    Metron replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
