Comment on Top 3 challenges for an LPN by poorruss

Nursing will never gain the respect it deserves as a profession until there is consistency in the manner in which nurses are educated. As long as we have LPN’s, Certificate Nurses, Associates degree nurses and Bachelors’ degree nurses, all expecting the same level of responsibility and pay, there will be a roadblock to reaching the level of common ground that is necessary for us to move on. There are many people in various fields who know more about their job than their boss does, but that doesn’t make them qualified to own the company. If someone is unhappy with being an LPN, they should go back to school.

Comment on Nurse organizations, unfair advantage? by Abby

“What if you can’t afford to join? ”
I’m not sure about all organizations, but National Society for Collegiate Scholars waived the $90 membership fee when I told them I couldn’t afford it. These organizations might not say it on any forms or invitations, but if you call and explain your situation, many have some sort of fund set up for just this purpose

Comment on You know you’re an LPN when… by Abby

There is a difference between smart, intelligent, and educated. I was a cna and am currently a nursing student. Just because someone doesn’t have the education of an LPN/RN/BSN/MSN… doesn’t make them any less smart. Most of us who have been to college or have read about INTELLIGENCE elsewhere know that it is not necessarily only made up of what one has learned. I am not anymore INTELLIGENT now than I was as a CNA. I am only more educated. When it’s an issue of education, it is not an insult. Anyone: CNA/HHA/PCT and I’m sure I’m forgetting some, might have the potential to become just as educated or even more than LPN/RN/BSN/MSN… They just might not have had the opportunity to do so.

Nursing completely overlooks the donut and focuses solely on the hole. Save a patient’s life and all you get is a “Yeah, so what?” Forget to give a patient their vitamin, and they kick your ass to the curb and report you to the board. As Shakespeare said in “Julius Caesar,” “The evil men do lives on after them. The good is oft interr’d with their bones.”

Nothing says “Good morning” like hospital food and pills.
