   ER JUNKIE replied to hair_tie's topic in LPN/LVN

   I think the main reason for this thread is not to say that RN's don't deserve more money for their education or BSN, MSN etc for that matter. I think that the point being made is that the level of respect is lacking for the LPN in alot of settings a...
