I have been an LPN for 35 years. I understand where you are coming from too. The new grads are so eager to tell there stories of how it should be by gospel of their teachings. i remember when i was new, yes I was the same way and got a few pegs knocked down too. It would be wonderful to work together with a balance of sharing knowledge with each other. The 'Nurse" shortage is getting larger. I have learned alot along the journey and wish to obtain as much knowlege as I can, but most of the times it is really nice to stick to the basis of care quality verses quanity. Yes I am an old time nurse myself. I still love to give back rubs...
