    lhflanurseNP replied to Grasshopper11's topic in Medical-Surgical

    lhflanurseNP replied to OnlineSNA's topic in Excelsior College

  9. Terminated due to insubordination. What will Put in my application reason of leaving

    lhflanurseNP replied to rvvmen777's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    lhflanurseNP replied to ednita05rn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  12. Do you give OTC meds at Church?

    lhflanurseNP replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Parish

    lhflanurseNP replied to RegMurse12's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My past experience, professional as well as personal, if your gut feeling is not good...listen to it. I have burned many times by not following my instincts. Good

  15. The College Network Scam

    lhflanurseNP replied to karmabrown's topic in Online Distance Learning

    lhflanurseNP replied to Pinky89's topic in Medical-Surgical
