so i'm an lpn. when people ask me what i do, i say i'm a nurse to avoid having to give a long explanation! then they ask me what i'm going to school for and i say nursing, so they're like huh?? so then i really have to explain what i do, i try my hardest to but people still dont understand what lpn's are :smackingf. most people have a notion that lpn's: dont give meds, are not ''certified'', cant give injections, the list goes on. and then people really dont think i'm a real nurse because of 1)my age, then 2)the fact that i became a nurse through my hs. my question is how can i explain to people what lpn's are while showing them that yes, we are ''real'' nurses!!???
