I am an RN working in Intensive Care. I spent 6 years as an LPN prior to becoming an RN. I work just as hard as an RN, trust me! I don't think that it is a requirement that one is lazy in order to pass the NCLEX and write the initials RN behind your name. It is simply a personality issue. Someone just needs to light a fire under their tail. Or make them do primary care!!!!
