    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to DanielleD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to hookyarnandblanket's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    One of the things you could try, if she will allow you that I have done with stroke patients, or those whose hands are contracted, is that I use a wash cloth that has been lightly powdered and place...

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to LemonMonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to chryzc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to xhelenaaax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. How do you feel about nursing?

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to m_n_b_96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to Doodlebug21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to TamiamaRebel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. prerequisites

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to nursessav's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is going to be your best bet. Figure out some of the schools in the new area that you will be moving to and get ahold of them. You will most likely need to send over transcripts from your old...

  22. Job & school

    Leonardsmom,LPN replied to Motivated4Success's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
