This is not quite what I expected,
By
This review is from: The Long-Term Care Nursing Desk Reference (Paperback)
I can't say that, after having read the ANA statement with which she begins her book, that I was too enthusiastic about continuing. Basically, the statement says that LPN's should not have the position that I, an LPN, have, and that only RN's should. I found this offensive and, frankly, was put off immediately so I don't know if my review would be impartial.
