it doesn't matter what kind of nurse you are.

it doesn't matter what kind of nurse you are as long as you take care of the patient. patient care is the most important thing in healthcare, it is a priority. Also, A CNA is the most glorious thing the state has gave us nurses, they are nurses too. please be kind. If you take care of someone they don't care what you are as long as you take care of them, titles don't matter. I became an LPN in mcminnville, tn when i was 19 y/o. all i wanted to do was take care of people, i quickly learned you aren't nothing unless you are a real nurse(rn). that is not true. just take care of the patient titles doesn't matter.

Hi Patrick,

May I add my 2-cents worth ?

What if we to chunk-up, way above "humanity's self-bestowed earthly Titles", and imagine

how God, as our creator, might regard what transpires on planet earth.

As any concerned parent would, do you think God sorrows when his children behave "proud and condescending" towards one another ?, as if their earthly-titles somehow make them better.

The good book tells us that God, as no respecter of any of his children, *loves us each equally*.

other nurses have already cared to feedback their responses to your post.

In it, you mentioned the word "care" 7-x. And *living kind and caring* are just 2 of untold positives of any truely helpful individual, you know - and of course, including CNA's. In fact, I wrote an encouraging post addressing a very concerned CNA who also wants the best for the people in her care. I ended it with "Bless you :) ", for she comes across as really wanting to make a positive difference also.

And God sure appreciates it when we give our *finest and All*. Keep doing just that, Joshua - until your feelings of love, and peaceful contentment, just overflows unto other people ... :)

Amen!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it does matter to have or not to have a title. Our state laws, Nurse Practice Act state the facts. RNs do heavily rely on the LPNs,CNAs,LVNs as do the doctors rely on all of us. It would be very difficult for any one of us to work without the other. There has to be a chain for the system to work properly. Patient safety comes first no matter what. I know what I had to do to get to where I am and what I have to do to stay where I am. If you are not satisfied with your chain of command, go back to school and make better of yourself. I have found that my nursing school experience has given me an understanding of the big picture that would be nearly impossible to grasp on its own. I encourage everyone and anyone to go back to school. I have even lost great employees because of encouraging furthering their education. Do it for you!

Let's see... 23 years old, multiply degreed, and grammatically questionable... YOU do the math...
