Re: Lvn....will we b needed n dialysis
Yea, I wouldn't worry about it. You can use an LVN as a pct AND a licensed person. So the company gets more bang for their buck. Instead of using 2 RNs (even when it might actually be needed) they can use an LVN (which takes patients AND can give meds) and an RN and save some money.
RNs at my facility do not take patients. I, as an LVN, do. I have a full load every day. Then I do my meds, and assessments, and try to help the RNs on "doctor days" when there are lots of order changes. It's a lot of work, sometimes I think a little too much. I'm doing the work of 2!
