  3. unworthy of an RN

    find out whether the lpn is able to perform these tasks...there should be a manual on the floor for these policies, but if not ask charge or another lpn. Definitely report this person. You shouldn't think twice if they are practicing out of their sc...

  12. that is true, diploma nurses get clinical exposure earlier on, and as a result become much more comfortable quickly. However, the study is trying to say that degree nurses are better critical thinkers... to some degree i think this is true. Look how...
