hi, i work as a tech in a dialysis clinic (waiting on acceptance letter for 09) and we have had about two lpn's. one is still there. their jobs consist of passing meds and doing assessments. i will say also that in the case of a shortage they have been known to have to take on the job of a tech. but so has the rn's. it doesn't happen often though, and one more thing is we have to wait until a rn is in the building before dealing with pt's even if a lpn is in the clinic. hope this helps

i know lpns are huge in LTC and ALFs, but where else can they work? should i expect to have to work in one of these facilities as an lpn or to make decent money? i know there are many hospitals around here that do not hire lpns anymore, i dont think working strictly with the elderly would be for me, who knows though, after i get some experience i may like it.
