It is in the LPN's scope of practice to "gather data" for an admission assessment. In reality, the LPN is completing the admission assessment, which gets signed off by an RN.

My job is going to involve doing this, in addition to my other duties of LPN.

It is all semantics, really. Assessments really is data gathering. They play tricks with those words all the time when it suits them.
