4. RN - LPN Power Struggle

   karen623 replied to MuscleNurse's topic in School

   I am an LPN dealing with an RN supervisor who is exactly like this. She is just abrasive, contrarian, just overall an unpleasant domineering person who thinks she knows best. Fortunately for me I work in a unit with several other LPNs so it gets spre...

10. CNA or Medical Assistant

    karen623 replied to FutureNurse12345's topic in CNA/MA

11. Playing the waiting game!!

    karen623 replied to future_wrightrn's topic in LPN/LVN Students
