RNs treat me like I'm not a nurse

Published

It's really sad to say but 90% of the RNs I work with dont value the LPN title. I feel like I'm still a PCT that gets blamed for everything bad, and never gets recognized for a job well done. Its like if youdont have RN behind your name at my facility, you're irrelevant. I figure when I complete the ASN program, I'll be able to remove the "just" before I state my title.

Has anyone else moved up from being a PCT or CNA to LPN and still feel low on the totem poll and unvalued?

It's particularly bad with RNS because they are so insecure.

Ok there Bucky I never said they were the same test.

What i said was that the ADN and BSN take the same RN test. Soooo buh-bye!

None of my coworkers care if you have an ASN or a BSN. Maybe you just have bad coworkers.

Op is not an rn, so I'm not sure what you're blathering on about. Op did not take the same test as an rn, and that is whom we are speaking of.

True, but you did say she passed the same test the RNs did. She didn't. The OP should be proud of her degree and her license. However, she did not pass the same licensure exam as the RNs. Not trying to devalue her job as an LPN--just stating a fact

Your profile says " prenursing student".

You've posted inaccuracies before such as: LVN is just about the same as a high school graduate. This is just as inaccurate.

Rachel allegedly "quit nursing" from her previous posts...not sure how far in nursing she got, but she posts she's not in it, and obviously not well informed at this time. :no:

It was in reference t her saying she was in the ADN program.

Your sarcasm does not reflect well on you.

It would appear that you are not a nurse of any licensure level, so why are you here?

When she completes her program and she passes the NCLEX (and I'm hoping she will do both), then she can comment to RNs who have a BSN that she passes the same exam they did.
