Hey honestly, the way I dealt with it is by applying to Rn school. For some reason being an Lpn is like a middleman. You're above the CNA but under the RN. It's difficult and I totally understand. One time at my Snf I had an emt asked me was if I was a nurse or a "little play nurse" hence Lpn. I was soo vexed after hearing that that I started looking for a school to go to that day. That was 3 years ago and now I'm in my last semester of nursing school for BSN. It just depends on whether you want to stay in that title and be strong with it or elevate your education. Although that comment that man made offended me , it also motivated me to Persue what I am destined to be a RN. Hope this helps. :)
