Can LPN's do SOC's?!?

Published

Hi ,

Im an LPN in school to become an RN.

I am working with this great home health company for a year and I love it.

My boss thinks I am great at the job and wants me to start doing SOC's.....

I am pretty sure only RN's can do this, but they said an RN will supervise me and sign the paperwork. FYI .....I think supervise means , a call on the phone .......

Can anyone speak on this???😁😐😀

A legitimate agency would never allow it nor skirt the regulation with "supervised by RN".

Only a RN can do a SOC, ROC, or Discharge from Service
