looking for lpn scope..

Published

Ok. This might be a stupid question. I am a Canadian LPN working on getting my license in NY...and am looking for literature on the LPN scope of practice. Where can I find this? I have looked on the nys op site...but I dont really see what I am looking for. Is it more clearly defined by each facility?

Thank-you!

Not a stupid question at all. This can be confusing.

Looks like NY BON has it fairly outlined here:

And, I am sure the facility(s) have additional practice guidelines. But, for the most part, will adhere to BON.

Vida, was the scope in Canada much different from the NY state scope of practice?

When I read that, I was thinking that you had much more latitude up here...

And I miss you... you are a FINE nurse.

Oh stop that. :rolleyes: But thank-you.

And I still miss you guys like he11.

The scope thing - yeah Im just not wanting to miss anything. I got the same thing when i read it too, but, I have come across LPN's being taught to start IV's in school. We definelty weren't. So when I get a job...

Just dont want to be in the dark.
