Where I live, LPNs can do everything RNs do except initiate blood transfusions (they can monitor once started) and push IV chemo meds. I’m unsure why everyone thinks LPNs can’t do anything. There are rural hospitals where I live that are mostly staffed by LPNs. During covid, many of the hospitals that stopped hiring LPNs a few years ago, all started hiring LPNs again due to short staffing.She was an LPN/LVN and I think I remember her posting once she worked in a residential program for teens, so teens with psychiatric illness who need long term treatment. In that setting, as an LVN, at most she may have been able to pass meds, but I’m not sure state laws for CA for LVN. She mostly babysat.
I’m a nurse practitioner. I don’t show my cards unless it’s necessary for the situation. Help someone. You don’t have to go around like Wayne and Garth flashing their back stage passes.
yeah that too! If you’re not licensed I don’t think you’ve covered under those Good Samaritan laws
That said, in the adolescent psychiatric unit I worked in, even RNs mostly babysat, ie constantly assessing everyone. We passed meds. We charted. The techs took the vitals and the therapists did the group sessions.
As I’ve said in these threads before, KT is a disgusting, lying, moron. But her allegedly being an LPN is nothing to denigrate. I still can’t believe it’s true as she is such an idiot. Her being in an A&P lab and passing boggles my mind. Maybe she was hit on the head since then or something.
