Let’s talk about the funny stuff. LVNs have to learn “medical terminology,” which is basically Latin for “nightmare.” They memorize words like phlebotomy (drawing blood) and auscultation (listening to your heart). But they also learn to say “that’s gonna sting” in a way that makes you believe it won’t. Spoiler: It always does.
One LVN told me her patient asked if she could write “LVN” on his cast. Another said a kid asked if “LVN” stood for “Little Vampire Nurse.” Honestly, I’d get that tattooed.
