    When to Start Applying for Jobs

    mindofmidwifery replied to Hail2Pitt's topic in General Students

    mindofmidwifery replied to YourFuture22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry but I don't know any RNs that drive a 2019 Mercedes-Benz or have a million dollars... Also, LPNs have probably just as much responsibility as RNs, just different
