    CharleeFoxtrot replied to ibree's topic in General Nursing

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    Sitter to escort patient during smoke breaks.

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to cna1234's topic in General Nursing

    Why go to LPN school?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    I was a paramedic and went through a bridge to RN program with RTs and LPNs and other medics of course. The LPNs helped everyone with the labs for practical skills and had great advice. Seems like...
