   We use 24G or 22G on most of our kids. Our IV of choice is the Insyte Safety IV. We actually had to fight our immediate bosses and go to the DON of the hospital to get these. They were changing our needles to the Introcan (Introcrap) needles. The...

   This is going back and forth. Look, I am the only LPN on our unit. I flush central lines and havg IV's on central lines. The job limitations for LPN's differ by state. Unless there is a problem, the RN's I work with spend less than 10 minutes pe...

   Oh people. Please understand that I am not bashing RN's in any way. I am a firm believer that ALL nurses are under paid. I grew up with nurses all around me. I was simply saying that I feel that I am under paid for the job I do as an LPN. I unde...

   I am continuing my education. I have been accepted into a BSN program and I start in the fall. The pay I stated previously is after three years of employment. I found that the annual 3% raise that we get is not the only raise that we may get. I h...

    I am an LPN in SW Missouri. I make $11.50 an hour. I do 90% of the same job that the RN's do on my floor. Am I whining? Do LPN's really get what they deserve? Does LPN really stand for Low Paid Nurse?
