As you all know, I am a nurse. I am an LPN (licensed practical nurse). No, I am not a "big wig" nurse, you know, an RN (registered nurse, or as the RN's put it "real nurse".Please...) YET. But I am a nurse. A NURSE. It says so on my license.
Now why am I getting a little agressive? Because there is a power struggle between LPN's and RN's. I have had RN's tell me that I am just a "learner nurse".
Oh, is that right? Mhmm, okay. How about you go to school for 15 months, learn about ALL THE DISEASES IN THE BODY, the PROCEDURES, the TECHNIQUES, stick each other with needles, start IV's on each other, go to COUNTLESS clinicals at the hospital, nursing homes, clinics, etc. Do community service. Make your mind go INSANE, studying for the NCLEX. Put up with the Board of Nursing (long story).......Oh and I was previously a CNA (certified nurses aide), a Registered Phlebotomist, AND a Registered Medical Assistant, and worked at a doctor's office for well over a year BEFORE becoming an actual "nurse". I also worked 32 hours a week while going to school full time. Now if thats what you don't call strength, I don't know what will.
And THEN call ME a "LEARNER NURSE", you so called "REAL nurses".
Bullshit. The next RN that calls me such, will get her eyes clawed out. You have my guarantee.
Good Day.
