I too have had my share of working alond side NA's and I found over the years that if you empower, acknowledge their work you will see a change in attitude from them. They are a necessity and I worked with the NA's which earned me their respect, I never had to check on their work or report anyone to management because for me I felt that was seen as a blur on my abilities to lead and communicate effectively.

Emm, I was an EN for many years, so I guess thats the same as an LPN down under in NZ. I procrastinated but when I was ready to commit I did and here I am a proud 47 year old with a grown family ready to leap into the world of being an RN. You will decide when the time is right for you, het I did. Mercadies
