Even big time movie stars need a certified RN from time to time. After cutting herself on a broken teacup, actress Lindsay Lohan was stitched up by an RN at an area hospital. Here are all the details on this star's would-be medical disaster.

The scene was Bryan Adams' opulent mansion in London. As Lindsay stepped out of the shower, she knocked a teacup off of the counter and it broke. Lohan received a large gash on her shin as a result and was sent to an unnamed London hospital. An RN gave the actress 10 stitches to close the wound and then sent Lohan on her way. Unfortunately, this was not Lohan's first visit to an RN this year. She was admitted earlier in the month for a severe asthma attack that required prompt medical attention.

Lohan Loves the RNs

  • No Worries? Lohan's spokesperson told Access Hollywood that the teacup incident was handled very professionally by the RN and that the injury would not impair Lohan's work week.
  • Basic Treatment. RNs treating Lohan said that the wound was very shallow and easy to care for.
  • New Work. The RN promptly cleared Lohan to return to her work. Lohan will be appearing in the movie "Chapter 27," which examines the life of Lennon's assassin Mark David Chapman.


Imagine that London RN's surprise when she went into her examining room and found teen queen Lindsay Lohan on the gurney. Earn your RN degree and you could be helping famous patients in the same way. If you want a career with a social conscience, get your RN training.

The RN Degree up Close

  • Environment. After earning your RN degree, you will be working in medical facilities of all sizes and specialties.
  • Outlook. As our population continues to grow, the need for RNs with degrees will continue to grow as well.
  • Education. The typical RN degree can be completed in a three to four-year program.


For the chance to help your fellow man and make a pretty good salary doing it, consider getting your RN degree and establishing a career in the world of medicine.
