    Glutton for Punishment?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, lay people who think they know everything about nursing get under my skin. I don't pretend I'm the best nurse ever, because I know I'm not. It doesn't matter how long I've been a nurse, I'll...

    Glutton for Punishment?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I want to add that the woman going to nursing school eventually changed her story & said she never said there was a law. She is doing what she feels is best for her. But if she is doing what she...

    Glutton for Punishment?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why people in the healthcare feel the need to bash each other. We all should come together & help each other. We have people's lives in our hands! I don't care if you're an LVN,...

    Glutton for Punishment?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Told them the same thing. Again, don't wanna start a debate about BSN educated nurses because all nurses are important. But how is writing papers going to help any nurse save lives? I vote for more...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I had a migraine by the time I was done. Not to mention their personal attacks on me/LVNs. But that says more about them, than me & the fact that they knew they didn't have any legs to stand...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, might I add the woman who is applying to nursing school next year said she is a better "nurse" than most real nurses. I asked her how she could be a better nurse than any nurse when she is, in...

    Exact same thing with the hospital system where I live. If they aren't forcing me to get my BSN, I might not get it. What's the

    Glutton for Punishment?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I told them the same thing. But they seemed to believe that LVNs & ADNs were useless. I don't think they ever heard of diploma nurses & that LVNs kill more people than all RNs combined. Where...

    Glutton for Punishment?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    That's an awesome analogy & sad but true. I don't want to get into an LVN vs. ADN vs. BSN debate because all nurses are important. But laypeople believe BSN & higher educated nurses are the be...

    Glutton for Punishment?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Lol! I didn't know it would turn into a debate like that but it was my fault for staying in it. I like to clear up misconceptions in nursing but I feel I have no leverage being "just an LVN" or maybe...

    Glutton for Punishment?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    That's why I was trying to clear up the confusion. But apparently the advisor was an MSN prepared nurse (I never had an advisor who was a nurse but maybe she was). So for me to try to tell these...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Lol. I know, I told them it's been going on since before I was a nurse & even before I was alive! I can't tell you how many times I rolled my eyes. I can't believe they're still in my head! I told...

    Glutton for Punishment?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I showed them that. That it is *reccomended* but that it is not a *law*. But they still heldfast to the belief that LVNs will be phased out of hospitals everywhere & RNs will be 100%...

    Glutton for Punishment?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    They still hire LVNs in one hospital system near me as well as ADNs. But ya'know, how would I know? It's not like I've ever applied for said job or perused any job listings. There apparently was a...

    We cannot provide legal advice here on AN. I don't think many, if any members have had similar problems with the law. Your best bet is to seek the advice of a lawyer & as soon as possible. Good...
