    Red Kryptonite replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    This isn't a blog, it's a message board. And anyone who refuses to state their credentials when asked on a board dedicated to professionals is being

  14. Will LPN's be around for long?

    Red Kryptonite replied to OMMx3's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    But you weren't posting opinions: You can't provide any sources to back up your bonafide, undeniable facts, so now suddenly they're opinions. At least you're right about one thing: your anecdotal...

    Red Kryptonite replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    Red Kryptonite replied to deleted's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Red Kryptonite replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Geriatric, LTC
