    Hellllllo Nurse replied to NannaNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Here is a poem that is very approprate for the ADN vs BSN debate, union nurses vs nurses against unions, day shift vs nights shift, etc. Maybe even republican nurses vs democrat nurses? *Seven...

    In all their writings, my BON refers to RNs as "professional" nurses and LPNs as "technical" nurses. However, my point was not to try and start a debate on whether or not LPNs are professionals. My...
