What I have is someone who does not know what they are talking about. http://www.opm.gov/fedclass/gs0620.pdf Positions are classified in this series when the primary responsibility is for nursing care which requires less than full professional nursing education but requires the knowledges and skills represented by licensure as a licensed practical (vocational) nurse. Such positions typically involve an understanding of the requirements for a patient care plan, knowledge and skill in the preparation and administration of medications, knowledge of physical and emotional reactions to a variety of treatment procedures and skill in maintaining effective work relationships with facility staff, patients and the members of the treatment or nursing care team in the direct service to patients. Positions in this series are referred to as practical nurses, in some areas as vocational nurses, and are prepared to function under the direction and supervision of a professional nurse and/or doctor. As member of the health care team, they give nursing care to patients, and generally are considered next in skill level to the professional nurse. KA-BOOM
You know, that is a good question there, Tigger. If you are used to being slapped around by the facts then you would become immune to feeling stupid at some point. I should have guessed that, so I retract the original question. At least you know now that lpns are not professionals and you can say you learned something.
pro·fes·sion·al /prəˈfeSHənl/ Adjective: Of, relating to, or connected with a profession. Noun: A person engaged or qualified in a profession. "Now don't you just feel stupid?" Or are you too stupid to know you should? I see your on the internet at work again. No wonder 225,000 people die unnecessarily in hospitals every year from staff errors. Dumb asses like you.
1) No one here is being slapped around by the facts here but you. 2) I'm sure you do retract the original question, because by now you KNOW I'm a licensed Professional and now of course you want to drop the matter. (Trust me,my license number on my wallet card won't change a bit ) 3) Still trying to play that ultra weak hand of semantics and relying on the in-expertise of other posters/lurkers. Bottom line is I don't care what your little intercine fued is between Lpn's & RN's, legally speaking Lpn's are treated as professionals. Now if you are an AFFIRMATIVE ACTION RN, I can see why you are so sensitive as to think you need to denigrate LPN's to make yourself look and feel better about yourself. Like I said before
Once again when faced with the truth facts or reality all we see is the back side of his dreadlocks flapping in the breeze as he runs for cover. Deluding himself all the while that if he only disappears for awhile everyone will forget what a lying idiot he is. In his favor though he has generations of ancestors skilled at running from the scene of a crime.
What we have here again just like the 22cal incident we see the lengths rcg will go to in trying to cover his tracks and when caught in a mistake. His first reaction twice now when caught in error has been unbelievable brazen counterattack and red herring BS, instead of admitting his mistake like a competent adult and moving on. But you see quite clearly rcg is NOT competent, so he blows a small scratch up into a keloid scar (oh no another instance of mother nature being racist ) as a protective mechanism. I'd say the dangerous thing about rcg is he obviously is prone to the same behavior on the job, which indeed is a serious problem. By now I'm sure his co-workers know what a sensitive buffoon he is, and take action to carry his weight so as to not endanger the patients.
What a moron you are tigger. You stated that lpns are professional I showed you they are not, all this other bluster is just that, bluster. And no, you are not licensed other than the one you use to drive a car, of this, I am quite sure.
