and when i was with the hospital - we still employed lpns and cnas! rns were just beginning to run lpns out of the hosptal and the other titles you mentioned were still considered inflated ways to promote rns who had reached the top of the pay scale! to this day i'd prefer to have an lpn administer any shot i might need!
