    Hello_Pretty replied to OliverElio87's topic in General Students

    Hello_Pretty replied to msheather413's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello_Pretty replied to Nursekelli2016's topic in Private Duty

    I work private duty and also at a home health agency (mostly Medicaid pts) in Los Angeles. They are not the same thing. I do private duty for the rich in Beverly Hills and Malibu as an LVN. I don't...

    Hello_Pretty replied to holly2422's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
