  4. Pay Rate Jealousy

    holly2422 replied to Suga Moore's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Suga I can empathize with you. As an LPN you should be making more in theory as the RN ASN and RN BSN should make more than the LPN. It might have been your negotiating that failed. I found myself...

    holly2422 replied to rvetch's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Pixie..... In your effort to prove my posting "FALSE", you neglected to read it in it's entirety. You can continue to be arrogant, however, you have no reason to be. You must be a "HOOT" to work

    holly2422 replied to rvetch's topic in Online Distance Learning

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