Is choosing to become only an LPN a bad choice? I'm constantly seeing horrible comments about LPN's being mistreated and disrespected by the Registered Nurses. I thought they were supposed to be like the big brother/ sisters to the LPN's. I'm currently enrolled to start my studies as an LPN student and I'm having doubts about this. I was a CNA before and always appreciated working side by side with the Nurses in the nursing homes. But if I'm going to be treated like a child after getting an education in Junior Nursing then I don't think I want to be in this profession.
