  6. Nursing Pins

    beckyboo1 replied to Lissla's topic in General Nursing

    Having just gone from LPN to RN, I wore my pin only while I was waiting to pass my boards since my name tag still said LPN at that time. I don't think that many patients are aware of the differences...

    beckyboo1 replied to stilcantbeliv's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly, I went in feeling confident as I had been an LPN for 20+ years. But I had so many SATA type questions, I'm not sure. I want to say I'm pretty confident, but don't want to be too

    beckyboo1 replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
