    realnursealso/LPN replied to Alana211's topic in General Nursing

  4. Help - First Job as LPN is an agency job!

    realnursealso/LPN replied to BrazilianLPN's topic in General Nursing

  6. Home Health Drug test

    realnursealso/LPN replied to nursewratchet59's topic in General Nursing

  11. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    realnursealso/LPN replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    Don't know if this is revelant to your rant, or not. When I went to nursing school, 30 years ago, the first 10 weeks of nursing school were hard. I studied the best I could, but at the end of the...

    realnursealso/LPN replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

  20. Work calling 3-4+ times a week to come in

    realnursealso/LPN replied to PAERRN20's topic in General Nursing

    Just a funny sidenote. I bet alot of you don't remember when everyone didn't have an answering machine, or caller ID, but I do. While working LTC, long ago, we finally got an answering machine....
