Do Kaiser Hospitals Use LVN's?

Published

I have heard that Kaiser hospitals use LVN's and team nursing but, I've also heard that their ratios in some cases are down to four patients per RN so, I'm a little confused about how their system works, if anyone can enlighten me.

Kaiser is one of the largest facilities in California that uses LVN's. They are uses in the hospital and clinical settings. I'm not sure about the ratios, but when I did my clinicals it was usually 1:4. This I know for sure experience is a must, I'm a new LVN and have been trying to get a job there for months!

But i hoped this helped, good luck

I have worked at Kaiser for the past 25 years as a Medical Assistant and am ready to move to the hospital as an LVN.

Because of the low 4:1 ratio, the RN's at our (South Bay/Harbor City) Kaiser voted the LVN out during the day hours. They work strictly with CNA's. You can only get a job nights/swing shift.

I know....a bummer, but they are increasing the LVN's during the day shift in the clinics (due to them increasing the licensed nurses), so that's a thought...no weekends, 8:00 - 4:30pm Monday through Friday...what's not to like.

Good luck with your search

I'm not an LVN actually ...

I'm just curious about whether they use LVN's so, thanks for the info.
