Me personally, I would take it with a grain of salt. Now if the LPN's were taking 6 or 7 pts a pop while the RN's were taking 4 without acuity, blood inf., central lines, etc being taken into consideration then I might would think something fishy was going on. If you really feel there is negativity towards you and your fellow LPN's I would suggest either discussing it with your charge nurse or NM. But I really would just take it with a grain of salt

I Am An Lvn That Works On A Busy 36 Bed Med-surg Unit. Me And My Fellow Lvn's Noticed That The Majority Of The Time We Have 6 Patients And The Rn's Have 5.
Patient Acuity Is The Same. Being Assigned Pt Needing Blood Transfusions Or Patinets With Central Lines Isn't Even Considered.
Also 2 Other Nurses And I Are Preceptors On The Floor. We Are All Lvn's And We Are Training Rn's To Do Their Job!
Opinions and insight would be greatly apreciated!
