    should I get my LVN?

    mindofmidwifery replied to moore3015's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Off the job injury- do I have to tell my boss?

    mindofmidwifery replied to Sundance327's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    LPN or track to BSN

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in General Students

    Thank you for your input :) I suppose the deciding factor at this time is whether financial aid will cover the private college. If not, I'd choose the LPN route. I really don't want any loans, not at...

    LPN or track to BSN

    mindofmidwifery replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in General Students
