From your fellow LPNs that is?
First, all i heard from anyone was "oh you're an LPN, when/are you going back for your RN," which got old in a heartbeat
Now it's "so why didn't you go for the RN in the FIRST PLACE." or "in it for the money, huh" and a few other smart orificed remarks that i'm not thinking of at this time.
I do not think it's jealousy one bit. I think it's a matter of frustration when you're told (like we're not aware LOL) how low you're paid, you're cheap help, etc. and on top of that you have fellow LPNs going back to school.
Is it going to discourage me from school. No, it's just annoying that no matter where you go, what you do, there's people along the way that think they must ask rude, intrusive questions on career and educational choice.
I'm sure when i go for my MSN, there will be someone to say "oh, going for your doctorate?":angryfire
