RN License plate

Published

In my state we can get an auto license plate that has RN with a picture of stethoscope on it. Today I learned an Lpn in my facility has one on her car. She is not in school to obtain her her and no one in her household is an RN. I just find this strange.

If you don't give a fig, why are you even responding?
Same as everyone else; because the topic is open for discussion. Do you want to debate fung shui now? GAME ON!

Perhaps your advanced education does not allow for others' pride in their (lesser) education. Your opinion does not lessen my pride.
I was so stunned at your indignation I didn't even finish reading and missed this. It doesn't have anything to do with my level of education, or yours. I wouldn't get a DNP plate either. DNP plate = lame. If I'd been on Apollo 17, I might want a plate for that. ;)

No, but I kind of want to fight you over the white chocolate crack. White chocolate is the BESTEST kind of chocolate there is. So there! :p

I made a pumpkin spice bundt cake with a white chocolate glaze for dessert today. Milk or dark chocolate would have just RUINED it, I say.

I'm sorry, I got off track. Back to out regularly scheduled programming of bickering over completely subjective but nevertheless legitimate opinions.

Go for it. What Apollo 17 is to you may be someone else's RN. Or LPN. Or MA. Only personal hubris stands in the way.

None of us can judge or detract from another's pride and joy.

I don't know why everyone is so afraid of others finding out that they are a nurse, lol. If you happen to get asked for medical advice, just refer them to their doctor! It's not that hard:)

So I was parking in the lot at a facility where I was interviewing...parked next to a car with the plate that read "420 RN" The "RN" was the special plate designation. Seriously?!?!?!? Even if it was by accident, I'd have had to send them back!!

Okay...putting on my staff hat once again - back to the topic at hand.

I also have zero interest in vanity plates of any kind. I think they're kind of silly. But then, I find bumper stickers and American Flags hanging on car windows to be a tad tacky and silly as well. Just my opinion.

A British friend of mine summed it up nicely when she said that she found the American need to ostentatiously proclaim their personal beliefs and/or status to the public to be a little creepy.

If some people are offened by the fact that others think vanity plates are dumb, well, then said people are way too sensitive. I learned a long time ago that different people have different tates and different sensibilities.

And as for asking why one would even bother to post that they think "RN plates" are pretentious.... well, a thread entitled "RN license plate" seems like a totally natural place to express one's opinions about RN license plates, right?

I would never get a license plate that broadcasted my profession. Then again, I would never get a "Half my heart is in Afghan" or "Proud Air Force Wife" bumper sticker and my husband and his service are near and dear to my heart. Putting things on my car, just isn't my thing. (I would get a breast cancer license plate though. Those are awesome). But to each his own. Whatever rows your boat I guess.

As far as the LPN who got the RN license plate. More power to her! Especially if they don't have an LPN license plate. Shame on them. LPNs want to represent too (I guess). But who cares? She paid the money. Kudos to her. It's just funny to me. Until she walks into the hospital and tries to do something outside her scope, who cares. If she wants to fake it til' she makes it in the parking lot (or whatever she's doing) who cares? "OMG that LPN has an RN license plate!!! It's so wrong.." :lol2::roflmao: I'm not meaning to be "rude". I just think its hilarious people would feel like "OMG, she didn't earn that title". If I want to put "Black Belt in Karate" on my license plate knowing I only have a yellow belt from Ebay, who cares?

Well, if a LPN got a plate that explicitly implied he's a registered nurse, yeah, that's fraud.

But some of the plates people on this thread are calling "RN plates" simply say "I'm a nurse!" and have a picture of a stethoscope. How on earth would it be wrong for a LPN to have such a plate? Do we really need to have a "the N in LPN stands for nurse" discussion again?
