Greetings, All:
Today I received an email from Ward James, RN, who represents NAIN, (National Association for Independent Nurses). I had requested information regarding membership to this organization. He responded back to me that LPNs are not accepted into NAIN unless they are, "....in the RN program".
Too bad. Their loss.
My question to you is this: should I, after 30 years of nursing experience and 8 years as a successful nursing entrepreneur, go back to RN school so that I can be recognized as a viable and worthy enough person to warrent membership into this association? Should ANY LPN/LVN who manages their own nursing enterprise be required to do this?
Have my contributions to this Forum been anything less than knowledgeable and helpful? And when I contribute to this Forum, do any of you disregard my posts because I am an LPN?
I want to hear from you folks. I really need to know what you think.
Peace,
Lois Jean
