Delegation on NCLEX??

[mariany]

Hey, so I am trying to figure out exactly what LPNs and nursing assistants can do on the NCLEX. What can LPNs do regarding NG tubes? Can they not give any IV meds? Can nursing assistants do enteral feeding? Which situations can a nursing assistant not do feeding etc. for a patient? I know that LPNs can care for stable patients, they can do dressing changes and PO/subq/IM meds but I get confused about what procedures etc. they can do.

If anyone has a list of the specific things LPNs and nursing assistants can do (in NCLEX world), that would be so helpful!

Thank you Kazza I can't wait until I receive the mail. I am going to do exactly what you say to do. You are so right I still am depressed and down and at times doubting myself. I need to think more positive and Im also seeing that Im sleeping to much more than I usually do I don't know if thats because Im depressed still about what happened with the test, but Im going to get on the good foot and go forward. I will go by each section Ill probably look at the topics from the tapes and then read over those subjects in the saunders and then watch the stuff over and over again, and read the lacharity book. I was really thinking about reading it all and even going back over my fundamental nursing book from school .
