3.0 out of 5 stars This is not quite what I expected, August 7, 2006
By Susan J. Bartmon (Ticonderoga, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
