The ANA is discriminating against LPNs and LVNs. American Nurses Association. No mention there abour REGISTERED? nope . To me that means ALL nurses. They should be forced to allow our membership or change their name to American REGISTERED Nurses Asso...

Is there anyone out there who is tired of being asked" Can you give shots?", or " You don't give out the medications though right?". I am. We work along side RNs, and get paid less, respected less, appreciated less. We do all the work they delegate o...

I'm proud of myself, that I turned out to be a caring, empathetic individual. Proud that my patients/customers/residents love me like a family member.Proud that I have a great relationship with my CNAs, who I couldn't live a day without. Ashamed to b...

Hello People!!!!! You still don't get it. 1. Nurses are nurses. Personally I myself am not looking for "professional recognition". I simply happened upon the ANA website one day and thought, "hmmm, that looks interesting, keep updated on things, new...

Jason, about the LPN med administration thing? The facility I worked at told me that theyre just meds. and they oprate the same way. 8am and 9 am scheduled meds are given from 730-1145. when I told my ADON that meds for 30 was more than I could h...

I seriously think we should all just quit if we don't lik our pay. Thats my plan.

My dream job: to have time to use the bathroom, 8 hours a day instead of 10 ( charting etc,) respect ( just a litle) and a paycheck bigger than my friend who works at Mc Donalds.

level2trauma, I won't be watching CNN, because ANA doesnt acknowledge me. I'm a LPN. How is that not discrimination?

I still say it's discrimination. If we're liscenced by the board of nursing , as "nurses" . then ANA is discriminating.

to last post: I read excerpts! I wouldn't waste my time1 but what do you think about suing the ANA for discrimination against LPNS?more interesting topic/

sick, sick, sick, it reads like cheap porn. This couple clearly knows nothing about nursing. Sounds like their plan to make a few bucks off the book. I'm just trying to figure out who they plan on marketing it to? Certainly not nurses. I read it and ...

I agree with every post. I am so sick of being treated this way, see my post in LPN corner. LPN is not the way to go. Although look what it's done for us? We're excellent bedside nurses! In NH theyre trying to pass a bill that will allow CNAs to pass...

HI butter, I've never worked anywhere except LTC, but there are nurses who have that "she can wait" attitude, Or other nurses say "it's all in her head". I find that medicating patients promptly cuts down on anxiety, and you'll find they don't ha...

Here's a thought, WHY NOT JUST PUT "NURSE" UNDER ONES'S NAME ON THE BADGE? THEN YOU'LL ALL BE JUDGES BY THE QUALITY OF YOUR WORK, NOT THE QUANTITY OF YOUR EDUCATION.

Hi Peaceful2100, I can honestly understand what you're going through. My kids are 2 and 8. You've come a long way though, and I guess what you really need to ask yourself is will nursing make you happy? Do you have previous experience in the fiel...

OK, here's the sad truth. RN's will always devalue you, you will be passed up for positions you rightfully deserve, the public will always have no idea what your job decription truly is, and you will be seriously underpaid for your efforts. Now here'...
