I'm an LPN and work in a small E.R. with a RN, but I do all the same things. Of course I have 32 years of solid psych and med surg experience to fall back on. Hang in there, if you want it, it will happen!!!

I meant this to be taken with a bit of laughter, as my daughter was trying to be a good nurse. Not as anything against Mexicans. I live in southern New Mexico and love the country and the culture. I find the people here to be kind, family oriented and proud. You couldn't dig me out of New Mexico with a backhoe!!

When my southern bred Lpn daughter moved to southern New Mexico it was quite a culture shock as she had never even met a Mexican. One night on the med-surg floor she needed to change the dressing on an illegal alien being watched by the border patrol. In a slow halting, louder than usual voice she leaned near the the man's ear and said, "I.. need ..to.. change.. your ...dressing." The officer tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Ma'am, he's not deaf, he just doesn't speak english!"
