    I don't know what OP is or trolling, I am new to this. Can you clarify so I can respond to your question? If your asking about ICU, I worked on a step down unit called intermediate care, its not as...

    Simple, I can easily read books, and if you give insulin to a hypokalemic pt you would drive K back into the cells driving the pt into a serious hypokalemia. Wikipedia is not that difficult, second I...

    Well Mr. Cuddleswithpuddles, you would probably be the first RN to say something like that, when I am in the nurses lounge its nothing but politics on how NP's and MD's should be paid the same, but I...

    I am sorry, I was not trying to be condescending, but you see what I mean? RN's back up NP's to be equally with Physicians and you can argue the same principles you just stated with education, but you...

    I see how it is, you nurses forget what it's like as a LPN I still have value and we are under utilized in this expensive healthcare system. How come its okay for RN's to back up NP's to become equal...

    There is no need to be arrogant, we are both nurses, and a year of education does not separate us, I have 18 years of experience, I can manage any of those issues, what can another year add on how to...

    I see what you are saying with the ICU, but at the same time the physician's orders will clearly state the parameters for titration. I can look up press it's and learn them pretty easily, I work on a...

    And Mr. Chicago, a lot of times my clinical judgement is better than my nursing coworkers. They ask me what to do a lot of the times. So what does adding another year or schooling or 2 for BSN which...

    It still doesn't justify the 30% in pay difference? If you could point to one thing that justifies that difference what would it be? Many of my RN co workers agree that they just get paid more, for...

    I have and it varies state to state, but from I see it states "LPNs must report to Docs and RNs. LPN may be prohibited from performing certain tasks, such as starting IV's and dictating important...
