ViewsMy Life as a Licensed Practical Nurse
by Fran Moskowitz
At the ripe old age of 30, I headed back to the classroom – me who barely squeaked by with a “C” in H.S. But I wanted to be a Nurse, so I headed for the Vocational Education and Extension Board (VEEB) where I would be in a classroom and a hospital setting for a year. Okay I can do this. It was hard, but I was lucky I didn’t have to work so I could just concentrate on school work and the clinical rotations. I was in the class year of ‘90-‘91. I was proud, I was happy. I loved taking care of my one patient. I graduated and sat for my boards which I passed. I was now licensed by the State of New York. I went from SPN to LPN. I had a job at SNCH and reality set in. I didn’t just have one patient I had 10! There was no more taking the time to really be with the Pt. I hated it. This was not what I signed up for. I lasted a year in the hospital setting, and then found a job in a multispecialty facility or as it was known: Doc in the box. I loved it! Here I was able to speak to the Pt find out how they were really doing. I drew blood; I ran the CBC & counted the WBC. Asthma Ptnebulizer treatment; Diabeticfinger stick; sore throat Throat culture; Physicals for school, work, DOT, EKG’s, UAswe did it all! The Mottoif we didn’t know how to do it- we learned it! I became certified in ACLS & BLS. BLS was fairly easy, ACLS not so easy, but I had people to help - we were a team in the same boat.
The company went through many changes, but the staff stayed, doctors changed but the work stayed the same. It was almost 10 years when they closed and off to another office I went tothis time as a practice manager who worked the floor and trained staff. My boss sent me to St Louis where I became a certified Breath Alcohol Tech (CBAT) and instructor. Upon my return I taught my staff, and they were then C-BATs. When the office shut its doors, I moved on. I worked as a gastro nurse, Psych nurse, Pedi nurse/supervisor, Hedis nurse, school nurse, Urgent care nurse. If it was out there I did it and if I didn’t know it I did everything in my power to learn it.
After 20+ years I decided I did not want to do patient care anymore. I wanted to be a forensics investigator nurse. The only thing that stood in my way I am not an RN. I looked into going back to school, until one night I saw an ad on Craig’s list. It was for a medical malpractice insurance company. I would work with attorneys to help decide whether the suit brought against the Dr had any merit and investigate what happened to the patient . This was my dream job. This is what I wanted to do. I know the medical terminology, but I’m not a lawyer, But, I can learn the law in how it applies to my job.
It’s been 4 years since I’ve walked through the doors of where I am presently employed and I am very happy. There are a lot of attorneys, insurance people and RNs, I am proud to say I am the only LPN. The reason they took me was because my background was so diversifiedif I had worked in just a nursing home for the last 20 years I would not gotten the job. But I am valuable, but most of all I feel valued. Just because you may not be an RN doesn’t mean you aren’t valuableif you have the opportunity to learn something – take it, you never know when it might come in handy.
Remember, while you are working make sure your handwriting is legible, your I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed, because if you get sued, that chart will be your best defense (or worst defense if it is not legible or complete) who knows, I might be the investigator/rep assigned to your claim.
I am an LPN, which stands for Licensed PROUD Nurse. I am licensed, I am a Nurse and I am PROUD.

My Life as a Licensed Practical Nurse
By Nurse Advisor Magazine (Official)
I am an LPN, which stands for Licensed PROUD Nurse.
This is a very inspirational article — showing once again the value of hard work and applying oneself. This LPN never hesitated to learn new things, and it seems she made good use of the saying “When one door closes, another opens.” She states at the end of her story that she is proud to be doing what she does. I’m sure her family, friends, and patients must be proud as well!
Congratulations! What an inspirational testimonial.
This was very inspirational.
Thank You for sharing.
This is so inspirational and motivating! You go girl!! You did that and more!:) As a fellow LPN I am filled with joy hearing about your journey. Thank you so much for sharing. You rock!!!

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.

I thought it was the beginning of a new life for me when I was introduced to crypto trading and mining. I followed all the instructions to the latter. The more money I deposited into my trading account, my profits just kept soaring and that was really a great thing. At some point, I asked for a withdrawal and I was asked to pay tons of money for multiple reasons I can’t explain but I was desperate and needed my money back. I was told it would only take 2-3 weeks to earn humongous money, Days turned to weeks, weeks to months and that’s when I realized their promises held no water. Getting help to get my money back wasn’t really a good moment, I was conned again by a moneyback agent on Facebook. The day I read about Cyber Genie Hack Pro, I just felt this peace of mind when I sent them an inquiry about how they operate, I just knew they would be the guys to get my stolen money back. I’m writing this appreciation review about this money-back team. How they were able to get my stolen money back to my wallet remains a mystery but I am glad I gave them a trial.
