first lpn check

Published

I know there are a few threads like this. They are mainly directed to RNs. While that day will come I'm preparing to be a LPN. Besides the pay dif difference is pretty big between the two. so with that being said, what did you/ will you buy with your first paycheck?

My first purchase on me was a nursing ring:) I loved it. The biggest purchase I bought after getting my first "real" nursing job, was my car.

I love how no one is being over the top by saying, " trip to France or dinner with the queen." Lol. These are tangible things that normal everyday folks wish to indulge in. Pay off the car or treat the family to new shoes. Lol small stuff

What a wonderful topic...brings back good memories. I don't remember everything but I do recall getting a new pair of glasses, I needed them desperately...I got a pair of Juicy Couture eyeglasses. Yup. I still have them 4 years later.

Oh. And I distinctly remember buying a real Coach purse. I had always wanted one. Don't have it anymore, however.
