What acronyms have you heard for LPN? I have heard Lower Paid Nurse and Little Play Nurse. The first is true, not so much the second! Just curious what else you guys have heard!

Mar 10, 2008 By the way, I created a support thread last summer regarding LPNs. It was entitled "Life's Perfect Nurses." Most people were supportive.
