5. Is Phys. Office nursing "Really Nursing"?

   I've been there. I use to work in a solo practice for 6 yrs, when I had to be out (which wasn't very much) the doc would just take over & the office manager helped him out. Of course things were a mess when I got back & the doc was very app...

8. lpn or rn in office setting

   stephiebob/lpn2rn replied to nursewannabee's topic in Ambulatory

   I recently recieved my RN after 15yrs as a LPN. Go for the RN first! There will be so many times that you are limited as a LPN whether it's a particular skill or place of employment. The extra time in school is worth it.
