I work for a hospice that uses LPNs in a different way. We hire LPNS to work in the capacity of a hha with using our nursing skills. It was just degrading at first. Because I felt like I had to rely on the RN to make decisions I was expected to in past jobs. I have found after 4 years in this area of nursing that. It seems better this way. More communication and brain storming happens between staff members. We are respected as LPNs and the RNs rely on our judgement we are their eyes and ears when they can't be with pt. But sometimes its just a pain to have to call an RN to give a PRN med that we already know we can should give. But this cat litter emptying, toilet cleaning, enema giving, cath inserting LPN loves her job. Please tell what other hospices use there LPNs for. bornfree:nurse:
