    KayStanley replied to jk2185's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. How to deal with coworkers

    KayStanley replied to enfermeratobe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    KayStanley replied to strawberryfields's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  11. I think I might be losing my mind

    KayStanley replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  12. I messed up

    KayStanley replied to magslu's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
