   addylpn replied to bunbao's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   Oh give me a break. Everyone here has a fake name so don't give me a load about integrity. If it's ok for you to use an alias, it's should be ok for the OP. Like I said, give it up

   addylpn replied to bunbao's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   Just curious, why does it matter whether the OP is really "the friend"? Why is it your business and what different advice/input would you give? It is the right of the OP if he/she chooses to remain...

    addylpn posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

15. Depression. . maybe

    addylpn replied to simplysw33t's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Nursing school is hard. You are bombarded with studying, homework, tests, clinicals. Friends and family don't understand why you don't have time to "hang out". Oh, and the money situation sucks...
