    Internet Porn at work-need advice

    Faeriewand replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    I think the nurse in question is addicted to Media and sex so is behaving stupidly. Also sounds like she is circling the wagons and you should be too TX. Think about it. What is the best way to get...

    Not cut out to be a nurse?

    Faeriewand replied to Pookybean's topic in General Nursing

    Lice prefer the heads of children, not adults so I doubt you have it. I've known families whose children came home with lice and even tho they shared the hairbrush only one child had lice, not the...

    Faeriewand replied to aspentree13's topic in General Nursing

    question about LPN to RN bridge programs

    Faeriewand replied to missanita's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I can say is that there are on-line schools to do LPN-RN but some states won't accept those degrees (some do) and neither will some facilities. Just make sure that you actually go to a...
