Congratulations to Juanita P. Reigle on her October 2005 Viewpoint. I have some of the same concerns; the best bedside nurse I have worked with in my 20-plus years of nursing is an LPN. The memory of her has kept me humble, despite my graduate degree. What is the old cliche? "Actions speak louder than words"-or better perhaps than letters after your name.
