So next time you see “LVN” on a badge, don’t ask “What does that stand for?”—just say thank you. Because that person spent a year learning how to save your life while also keeping a straight face when you ask for a bedpan with a smiley face on it.
And if you do ask what it stands for, now you know: Licensed Vocational Nurse. A hero with a badge, a needle, and a wicked sense of humor. Go give one a high-five. Or a cookie. They deserve it.
