3. Medical shows vs the real thing?

   dadusmom replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

   On the TV shows, the nurses are there for clean ups and to give the Dr's some "LOVE" after a hard days work. I loved an episode of House where the pts husband had the nurse watch his daughter.

8. RN's attitute toward the LPN

   dadusmom replied to shoegirl28's topic in LPN/LVN

   I agree with some of the posters here, It's not an "RN attitude", it's just a person with an attitude. I worked on a floor with both RNs and LPNs and we all worked very well together as a team.
