    littlepeopleRNICU replied to FilledWLove's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  8. New grad RN with 26 years experience as LVN job hunting

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to toekneejo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm a little confused as to what you mean by asking if you can still work as an LVN if you don't get an RN position. Here, you can have the same position(if the unit will hire LVNs), but there are...
