just wanted to say hello and introduce myself...I live on vancouver island, and am presently working as an LPN in long term care (which I LOVE) ( I know, not many nurses love long term care, that's why the people that do, need to stick around)
I'm presently refreshing my RPN (which here in BC is a Registered Psychiatric Nurse, not a registered practical nurse), which will enable me to work on the psych unit, detox, mental health, or as
as an RN in long term care...
although, the LPNs and the RNs (RPNs) are doing identical jobs where I work, the LPNs make 2$ less an hour (starting wage) and can't pronounce death. The workload is identical.
I'm thinking maybe I should keep both my LPN license and my RPN registration cuz who knows the future of health care in this province...
