"JUST an LPN." I wish I had a nickle for every time I've heard that expression. I've heard it from doctors, nurse managers, RNs, patients, patient's families, and most frequently from other LPN's. If I had to choose only one regret, for the sake of this discussion, it would be that someone, sometime, referred to one of us as "just"...and it stuck.
