At one of my local area hospitals its required for the nurses to either get RN or LPN embroidered on their scrubs. Whats is wrong with wanting an RN over an LPN, some people might want an LPN over an RN. Not to mention in some states LPN's cannot do ...

Why don't you get the RN, BSN embroidered on your scrubs?

Speaking as a future new grad, the reason I decided to take up nursing as a career was for bedside nursing. Working in the hospital setting and doing clinicals attracts me to the role of the bedside nurse. Although I have only gotten a watered down v...

In oklahoma CNS's can apply for prescriptive authority within their specialities

why differentiate between LPNs and RNs. They are both nurses. Sure the LPN has some limitations, fewer in Oklahoma where I live but they are still a nurse. LPN or RN on someone's badge or uniform should do.
