[Marie_LPN, RN]

As for the OT, i am surprised this position isn't posessed by an RN.

What is the persons' expereince and/or credentials? Just wondering.

EVERYTIME!

I agree.

I don't like for profits either.

It sounds like from the job discription it's o.k. to have an LPN perform these duties, but did they do away with a designated RN charge nurse? Who makes the assignments for the the nurses, etc.?

Our facility only allows RNs to be in charge, except in our LTC floor, an LPN can be there alone and be in charge, usually that's only on night shift.

Chill down time friends. Closed and taken to the moderators. There is absolutely no reason to have such heated responses when discussing a topic.
