   Correct me if I'm wrong. I always thought LPNs could be above RNs in a manager position but not as a staff nurse. Hope that makes sense. Lol

    I had a dream last night that I was literally being chased down the hall by the portable X-ray machine. It was trying to kill me!! Anyone else have "odd" nursing dreams besides relentless call lights, monitors alarming or coding patients ?

    Looking into the Op's past posts, I wonder if perhaps English isn't his/hers primary language. We may have some comprehension road blocks. Id hate to jump to conclusion the OP may not be completely truthful about his/her education and license.
