I have been an LPN for over seven years and I also have heard remarks made by RNs. I am working toward my RN now. As far as if LPNs are real nurses is just a way to make the person saying it feel superior. I have trained RNs and BSNs on the job. Everyone comes out of nursing school with many questions and doubts. Experience, common sense, and being caring are what makes a good nurse. It is surprising that an RN would feel this way toward an LPN. It is less schooling, but a lot of what is learned is learned on the job for all nurses. I've seen many RNs make some bad mistakes, same with LPNs, thats why common sense is so important. I've seen LPNs make the first initiative to an emergency, when the RN is standing right there. It doesn't matter, it only matters how good of a nurse someone decides to be.
