i don't want my post to be the venue for an LPN-RN debate...this is just my opinion about the topic...
i understand that not EVERYBODY want to be an RN and that NOT everyone stays as an LPN...different situations calls for a different approach...we as nurses should be bonded and not debate amongst ourselves of who has the best career...it's hard enough explaining to the lay person what we do and how important we are and not "just nurses"...that we don't need to badmouth each other...
same difference? I don't think so! I spent 4 years in undergraduate studies (BSN) vs 1 year for the PN's, big difference. LPN's cannot work in my department, critical care. Now, in support of the LPN's I have worked with (supervised) in the past....most were smart, competent caregivers. But they knew the boundaries, liabilities & when to call for back up. I always differentiate since I deserve this. I did not take LPN boards but RN boards (among others). Nuff said.
Oh please, the real difference between RN's and LPN's is that the RN's are the ones behind the desk talking on the cellphones and reading the newspapers sitting on their big butts while the LPN's are out on the floor. DUH Even the RN's know this.
