:oHi, you great LPNs out there, I have been an lpn for 13 years now, I am a successful lpn living in an rn world. I know you guys can appreciate this one. I have to share it with someone. I am a nurse manager and am responsible for many RNS . Recently in the past two years, another lpn and I have managed our floors, held people to task. And we were defiency free last year, and received no G tags this year. And according to our company we have done better than anybody in our company. WE are just little peons. Corporate came in and said we need to get our rns . But yet none of the other SNF's with rn unit managers has accomplished what we have. I think a good nurse is a nurse that does the following, care, think , react, and have good documentation. And always research , and ask if you dont know. I am going to school to get my RN . But I feel I will be the same nurse I have always been. I just can legally say someone is dead. how nice. I get to do an rn pronoucement. I just think the good lpns . Cause we all know just cause your a nurse, doesnt really make you a nurse! To all you lpns out there , keep your chins up and held high ! love you all!!!!!! Michelle , Mass
