I AGREE 100%, I noticed that when I was given a question I didnt know the answer to, I was given a similar question later in the test which actually helped me to realize that my 2nd choice was the right answer (do to the fact that my 1st answer was n...
When I took my test it cut off at 89 questions... I felt that I didn't pass as when I got home I reviewed questions I had answered and found incorrect. Point is... 2 month later I got a card with the title LVN on it in my name. I dont think anyone ha...
Im sure its company policy, I have worked in California for 5 years and never needed a RN to co sign however, It was understood there are orders I could not take over the phone, for example DNR and Restraint orders but again, was company policy. HOWE...
$23 is good money for a LVN I have 5 years xp as a LVN and have never made more than $19. Truth is, if you look at your medical benifit costs, you will pay over $5,000 per year for insurance, (to change the subject). I question why anyone would pay t...

If you ask me, the LVN should be use much like a CNA is used... as a HELP to the RN .... LVN's should not be assigned any one or five patients... they should assist the RN's on the floor ... The problem here is the LVN would need to be given the repo...
My hospital also worked this way... until they got sued by a RN claiming when the LVN took care of her husband the LVN did most of the documentation thus showing she was the Primary Nurse as all the RN did was the assessment and IV meds. Supposedly t...
Anyone know where to find this "law" showing it illegal for a RN to "Team" with a LVN as the RN will be responsible for more than the number of patients assigned to each floor... example Med/Surg 1 nurse to 5 patients.
