    Longleggedstar replied to bananerz84's topic in LPN to RN

    I am more curious to know why you would think 30 anything is too old to go back to school to become an RN. I strongly believe that once you figure that out, you'll be able to answer your own

    Longleggedstar posted a topic in General Nursing

    Longleggedstar posted a topic in General Nursing
