Faby Specializes in ER, Med Surg. ICU, Mgmt. Geri. Hme Care. 219 Posts Aug 14, 2020 Why do they hire an LPN if it's just enrolling in the program, anybody can do it. I'm sending there has to be some clinical work involved.Is the SW supervising a certified Case Manager? I doubt it. It's a low cost program hiring the wrong people. 0 Likes
