Sounds crazy to me since the babyboomers are becoming more advanced in age and we will need all the LPN's we can get our hands on for Medicare rehab and LTC. I have a feeling this would be great big law suits waiting to happen.

WOW!!!!! I took my LPN in Indiana and moved to Kansas City right after I graduated within 1 year I am making $22/hr AS AN LPN!!! They start RN's at $29 and $5/hr shift diff. and if you work the weekend nights it is $10/hr plus the $5 pluse $29. If you work an extra shift you get $15/hr plus the $29/hr. We are moving back in December 2006 after I complete my LPN to RN bridge, sounds like I will make less than when I was an LPN.

i also am overweight and agree with you on that i also love the way i am. i was discussing going to curves to my husband and my 6 year old daughter said, "why mommy?", i replied, "to lose weight". she was upset and started crying, i asked her why she was upset and she said, "i don't want you to change i love you just like that mommy". what could put things in perspective more than that. if we could all have the bliss of being young again without sterotypes and discrimination. i may be overweight, but i climb those stairs everyday and when i get to the top i am not the one out of breath. the quality of patient care i provide is determined by the feedback of my patients, not my weight. i have been a nurse for 5 years and still yet to have negative rapport with patients, colleagues, or physicians. it is all about personality, compassion for caring for others, and good ole morals and values.

'yes, but pretty is as pretty does. i haven't been terribly impressed by her manners. actually, i have had people say that it is intimidating for them to have an extremely healthy individual take care of them, they feel like they are judging them. i work on ccu and most patients are themselves somewhat weight challenged.:roll :roll :roll :roll :roll :roll
