What are you ??

[Keepstanding]

RN or LPN ??

[banditrn]

my license says i am a " registered nurse". @ home, i am a kitchen diva. my friends calls me " ultimate psychologist/shrink". my nephew and nieces thinks i am an atm machine. my boyfriend said i am his queen. :rotfl:

:roll :roll my grandkids think i'm a 'money tree'.

i'm an rn - and i'm becoming a little paranoid about it. just started working at a new ltcf - and when i introduce myself to anyone new there, that's the first question they ask. am i an rn or lpn? what's the deal - we all do the same job.

even this maintenance guy who came in the other morning to do a fire drill - he pulled me aside later to ask whether i was an rn?! i'm beginning to wonder why everyone wants to know, and i'm not going to answer anymore until they tell me why they're asking.

RN or LPN ??

Your location indicates that you're in practicing in California, yet you're referring to yourself as an 'LPN' instead of 'LVN'.

[adrienurse, LPN]

What am I? That's a loaded question don't you think?

I'm an RN

:Santa1: Don't be sad LPN 90, know you did not intend this! Nice to know that people are interested in what fellow posters do, I certainly am! Cheer up, Santa is coming soon! (never mind that I'm mortgaged to the max etc, etc, trying to keep up the season of goodwill to all & stuff!!!). Anyway, I am a Scottish girlie, i qualified as a midwife, and was posted into the Neonatal unit 6 years ago-- never left , and went back to University to do my neonatal intensive care course. I can't imagine being anywhere else, a big No-No to going back to the labour suite! I love my tiny babies, I was born to be here! Outwith work, I'm a mad Mammy, 3 big babies,(19, 17, 14 yrs!) never done with THIS job and never want to be without it!!!

Chin up Babe, Joys of the Season to you !:Reindeer:

i find it strange when non medical people ask this question because i feel like they don't know the difference anyway. nor do they even care to know what the difference is in our scope of practice. i almost feel like they just want to know how much money i make...another misconception really, not all rns make more than all lpns...

I am happy in my role as a circulating nurse - I truly value all the staff that works around me, regardless of the title or the job or the education. I couldn't do what I do without them, and vice versa. We are all valuable in our team.

This was too cute!! We all have with many roles and titles....:smiletea: Best of luck to U!!!
