Our RN instructors are brilliant...and i mean GENIUS nurses. They have lectured on the LPN vs RN debate saying that, LPN, RN, whatever your credential, if you're a good nurse, you're a good nurse period. If you know your stuff, you will get respect, no matter what you are. Nursing is a hostile field. We have to fight for years in nursing school just to pass our exams. Then we have to fight and work some more just to pass the NCLEX. And THEN we have to fight and battle every dayon the job just to KEEP that liscence. One slip up and that credential could be gone. Nursing as we all know is not for the faint hearted...we have to be on our toes constantly, not allow ourselves to get lazy, complacent....we have to prove ourselves day in and day out. Do this and you'll get the respect you want/deserve, LVN or RN The most hardcore battleaxe of all our instructors said just last week that she had LPN co-workers who were worth their weight in gold. She went on to say that she would stand beside them and cosider them her colleagues, nothing less. We all do what we do for different reasons. Just keep up the good work and focus on being a good nurse...
