lpns are not licensed professionals, sir. Thank you for confirming my belief that you are support staff and do not really know what you are talking about.
I don't think I've made it a secret that once was a good profession has turned relatively crappy (compared to the past ) with increased federal regulations. It's no longer worth it as a full time job, part time gig is just about right. I'm dropping the office that has the highest structural inefficiency for me. I'm paid for performance not sitting on my ass looking dumb (like you do on 3rd shift) Also I'll still make as much money working 2 days /week as an LPN working a full week. So it's win/win for me all the way around.
okay I get it you are a COMPLETE FRAUD OR MORON Please oh, please as a nurse of any flavor or competence or for that fact anybody that knows what the Acronyms "LPN" stands for would know LPN's most certainly are "licensed". LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) Exam Review: Pearls of Wisdom, http://www.amazon.com/Licensed-Practical-Nurse-Exam-Review/dp/0071464336 oh I hear the excuse making machine starting now they are licensed but not "professional" Sorry but this cuts off that escape route . http://www.afgenvac.org/hybrid-handouts/nutes-AttachmentBRevisedHybrid_38LPNStandardsBoard122806.pdf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Licensed_practical_nurse ahh you are too fricken funny either way. 1)caught you in a Fraud 2) Or you really are incompetent boob of a nurse that knows nothing of your own profession
You have posted something completely unrelated to the the discussion. Again, thank you for confirming your position in the Allied Health hierarchy. You are not licensed and do not know what you are talking about. http://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/licensed-practical-and-licensed-vocational-nurses.htm This is from the Dept. of Labor, and not some quick search on Amazon. But again, there is some parable about giving enuf rope? Licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses (known as LPNs or LVNs, depending on the state in which they work) provide basic nursing care. They work under the direction of registered nurses and doctors.
All I said was that you are not licensed, based simply on the structure of the language you used, and lo and behold, I was right.
Nice try , but as far as I'm concerned and anybody else in the professions if you have to take a test from a "professional licensing board" are bound by board regulation and scope of practice and hold a "license" for the performance of your duties you are indeed a professional. So sure if you want to think LPN's are not part of the nursing Profession knock yourself out. This from your link doesn't sound like Professional requirements to you?
Confusion is SOP for you isn't it. CNAs are also part of the nursing profession, but they are not Professionals, get it? So, as far as you are concerned, you are behind the curve....again. But I will let you hold whatever belief makes you feel better. My original premise is that you are not licensed, and that happens to be correct. As evidenced by your complete avoidance of the subject .
Well if it is in your wallet and not on the wall of where you work, you have said all you need to say.
My main quibble with your claim of LPN's is that of non-licensed status. CNA's as far as I know have "certificates" and are not considered professionals even though their activities are regulated by the board. They are not considered professionals because they don't have a " license" ya moron. geesh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unlicensed_assistive_personnel
