    Miami NightNurse replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Miami NightNurse replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've been a nurse(an RN) for almost 20 years. LPNs are nurses!!!!! They pretty much do the same thing an RN does. The only difference is an RN went to school longer and has to cover an LPN but that...
