  10. LPN vs. LVN Can't we just agree on a name?

    anonymous1919 replied to 3sodapop's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    To my understanding it's a rumor. My teachers said they heard it in school too, and some of them we're in school in the 70's. The worst that I could ever imagine happening is making an LPN no longer...
