Foreign or American, ours make the same. I see things slowly changing. We have two programs that just opened up for LVN programs for nurse aides only. My son is in one. Bridge programs are opening for LVNs to be able to work and become RNs. It may drop wages a little but that is ok. There is such a shortage and many qualified people haven't been able to get in.

What's this about retirement though. When the legs go I guess they will start issuing us wheelchairs! I was reading an article about how medication labels and other stuff we need to read is being enlarged and stocking reading glasses due to the mean age of a nurse increasing:')

The new electronic medical records systems are a chore to keep up with as well...

Say on an unrelated note...it would be neat if the RN's here at free republic could start their own ping and threads groups...I'm not sure how to do it yet but it would be cool to have one!
