  1. No jobs for LPN graduates anymore?

    LanaBanana replied to Bala Shark's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think it would be very sad for LPN programs to shut down because there is a great need for LPNs. Hospitals do seem to be swinging more to the RNs, but there is an aging population out there that is...

    LanaBanana replied to mercytech's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  5. Magnet hospitals and LPNs?

    LanaBanana posted a topic in General Nursing

  9. St John's Medical Center - seeking Magnet status

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Yeah, I can't imagine St Francis not pursuing it as well, but it seems like maybe would make it less important if they both had it. I've read a lot of mixed opinions about magnet hospitals on the...

    LanaBanana replied to hsfarrara's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Help needed: Research Methodology Course for Master's at OU

    LanaBanana replied to dottimur's topic in Oklahoma Nursing
