How many of us work on RN only units?

Just curious how common these are and what specialties they're seen in. They seem to be getting more and more common. My floor is RN only (probably due to the sheer number of blood products and IV pushes we do), but the kidney/pancreas transplant floor I interned on had one LPN.

NICU here. All RNs. Our one LPN was forced to take a tech position when the hospital began eliminating LPNs.

That pretty much stinks. Are they helping her go on to get her RN?

All RN's here. Tele/step down vent unit. There is one LVN on nights who was grandfathered in when they switched, but that will be it-- they won't hire any more..

Only RNs here too.

Hi, where I work now, we have only RNs, at the last place there were LPNs who could chart if the RN cosigned them.Opps, guess I should clarify, both units are psych.

Only RNs in all units I've worked in.

All RNs on my unit.. and tech here and there.

My unit is RN only, but our PCT's are able to do alot more than most (phlebotomy, foleys, tube feeds, they can string anything that not a med (IV fluids), EKG') and more. This is a great help.

All RNs in the NICUs I have worked in

All RNs on a level III NICU.

adult ICU - all RNs.

Nope. She didn't want to go back to school after working as an LPN for 20 years. At least that's what I'm told.
