I am An LPN here in Florida .WE ARE REAL NURSES.We do a great deal of Pt care.When i worked in a critical care Med/Surg Hospital the ONLY thing i did not do was hang blood!I do assessments and take orders.I have learned a lot from years of experience.Experience is one thing LPN or RN that will make you an educated "real" nurse.I get that RNs sometimes don't view us as REAL nurses...They went to school a lot longer than we did and in most situations their licence is on the line as well if they are supervising LPN's.One thing for sure ...not just everyone makes a good "Nurse" I think with the economy we are faced with these last two years more and more people are getting in to the health care field because that's were the work is! Unfortunately everyone who goes to school to be a nurse is not a good candidate!We are special people!
