Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 That is interesting because when I taught LPN students they told me if I had been fat they would think I didn't know anything. So I threw back at them as nurses they should have good health habits too then - 1/2 of the class smoked and over 1/2 were overweight/obese. I asked how many knew smoking was bad for them - of course everyone. All got quiet.
