I have a question about lpn's

[Iwannabeababynurse]

do you know if they hire lpn's for a ob doctor's office or if they hire lpn's the ob at a hospital??

[Balder_LPN, LPN]

Our hospital used to hire a lot of LPNs--now they say they are only hiring LPNs who are completing their RN. That said, we have plenty of LPNs. They work Peds, mother/baby, and as scrub techs. One or two of them work in the nursery. They do not do L&D.

Our doc offices hire tons of LPNs. It's easier to get a job as an LPN in a doc office than as an RN (at least in some of them). In our area, especially the larger offices, have 1-2RNs manning the phones and doing administrative type of duties, with the LPNs/MAs working up patients. Our main OB office has RNs and LPNs working there.

Where are you located?
