Nure Emi

:bluecry1::bluecry1::(I am a LPN I worked in a Nursing home for several years. I have been transfered to a hospital unit which is a lateral move so the hospital did not have to hire new RN which make a lot more money and obviously arner more respect. I have been looked down on at the hospital because I am a LPN a little Pretend Nurse not a RN "Real Nurse" as the saying goes. The Nurses and Grad Nurse Techs treat me like I am a joke. The Doctors will talk over me give me petty jobs and even allow the Grad Nurse techs to do things I can't because they need experience for their RN. I feel like I made a big mistake getting a LPN. I watch the RNs and I can see why they are Real Nurses, In school we only learn the basics the first year of real nursing school, I have considered becoming a RN real nurse, but the school I recieved my LPN is this money hungry school (St.Louis Colege of Health Careers in Fenton Mo) is not considered a real school nothing transfers to real Nursing schools the school is a degree mill I kow half the people I graduated with had a job in a nursing home already a got a little raise and the others could not get placed at all. I am so discusted and I am tired of hearing if your a LPN your a Nurse. No I feel like a second place Nurse I even get scoffs from patients. I guess my question is this. What is the reason for LPN's NOONE respects us a nurses. I am always asked why didn't you become a real Nurse? I want to be a Rn but I do not have the money or the smarts I guess I barely passed the boards to be a LPN Much less a RN!!! Help!!! :banghead:
