i used to feel so confident but lately no... its just i get so degraded at work it lowers my self esteem. Why cant people have any respect for LPNS? WHY AM I GETING USED AS A CNA? it doesnt make sense to me...people see me come to the floor and their like oh the other aide is here and its like no... IM AN LPN!
What sort of facility do you work in? If it's LTC then you're not a CNA, if it's a hospital setting then the may have LPNs titled as aides or techs and keep RNs as nurses. I had a MA that I worked with tell me that she didn't care what my title was (LPN) we were all supposed to do the same job. Talk to your manager and clarify what your role is supposed to be.
I'm sorry you feel bad but please think about what you're saying to all the CNAs right now[/quote']I am proud that I was a CNA before I became an RN. BUT, I advanced myself, as OP did which does deserve recognition. I would not want to be treated like a CNA either. However, no matter how I am treated, I do NOT rely on others for my self worth.
