  2. Trying to understand difference between LPN and RN practice....

    smartnurse1982 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I think about it... Mind boggling because on here someone who is an lpn wrote that they manage rns in a administrative capacity and teach asses their skills? Oh and in some states,there was only...

  6. What's the difference between a CNA II and an LPN in NC???

    smartnurse1982 replied to Maggie in NC's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    nc has in my opinion some of the most confusing nurse practice acts. before i came here i would have never guessed cna's had levels. i don't care what ahs been taught to them but a can can't possibly...

  7. Trying to understand difference between LPN and RN practice....

    smartnurse1982 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That's true about it depends on the work enviroment but I don't understand why an rn who used to be an lpn still has to have 1 year of rn experience. I was an lpn for 4 years but not to many employers...

  8. Trying to understand difference between LPN and RN practice....

    smartnurse1982 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    smartnurse1982 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The problem i am trying to understand northup is how can one be trained to be an rn when they dont have a license? im still confused. if i had known that i guess for me all the money i spent on an lpn...

    smartnurse1982 replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes its the instructors that puts those things into students nurses heads that they won't have to clean poop. I myself had 2 nursing instructors tell my clinical group "if you want to change...

  11. Trying to understand difference between LPN and RN practice....

    smartnurse1982 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Also,I don't understand why an rn can't work as an lpn. If some lpnls can work and do the same things as an rn,(which is a "higher" license,which by that I mean required more schooling) why can't rns...

  12. Trying to understand difference between LPN and RN practice....

    smartnurse1982 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    How does one practice at the level of an rn without an rn license? Could that put your lpn license in jeopardy? I'm so confused. Do you supervise the Rn's that are

  13. Trying to understand difference between LPN and RN practice....

    smartnurse1982 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    you know whats funny,i had a thread a while back about an lpn getting paid more than me. according to what everyone wrote,its my fault for not negotiating wages better,even though we both had the same...

  14. Those that prefer to work with men

    smartnurse1982 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    your instructor sounds like she may be sexist. if she didnt like nursing there are a million other careers where men dominate. come to think of it, how many men were in nursing before the pay became...

    smartnurse1982 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

  17. What counts as experience?

    smartnurse1982 replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    you are right,it is better than sitting at home. you will have great experiences working in a nursing home,and like many i know will not want to work anywhere else! i think after 6 months you are no...

  18. What counts as experience?

    smartnurse1982 replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    while i thought that nursing home and home healh would count as experience i was wrong. they both require a different skill set than hospital experience. i have 6 years experience with hh and ltc but...

  19. Nobody in this county will hire an LPN.

    smartnurse1982 replied to gwene's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well actually,in the south part of usa they hire lpns over rns,esp in ltc. I have seen the ads "lpns only" and no rns need apply. But in Nj,there are no jobs for lpns,which I'm guessing maybe because...

  22. Those that prefer to work with men

    smartnurse1982 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah,once again blame women for what men do. I guess I had idiots for co workers. The point of my post was that really,you are pre judged based on gender,which is unfair. I mean, how do you think a...

  23. Those that prefer to work with men

    smartnurse1982 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I'm okay. I just don't get why women bash women but I rarely see men bash men. I'm a feminist,so yeah I'm a little taken aback. What I'm saying though is why did. they welcome a male co worker...

  24. Those that prefer to work with men

    smartnurse1982 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    On the same note,we can't bash a whole gender of nurses(women) because of a few bad apples. I guess I'm the only one who feels comfortable working with a bunch of women. I'm not comfortable working...

  25. Those that prefer to work with men

    smartnurse1982 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I hope I don't cause anything by stating this but I find men esp "homosexual male nurses" to be just as bad as women,if not worse. I had one as a fellow student who did nothing but bash my weight and...
