I am an LPN and due to health reasons I have to give up RN transition hopefully for a short time. I fail to understand why RNs and LPNs can't work together without the bickering.I know that med techs and uaps are being used in hospitals in my area and I had a particularly bad experience with a med tech, she had 4 weeks experience and she was going to change my IV, I demanded a nurse,I refused to let her touch the IV. I hear that RNs are refusing to work with LPNs who have training and did sit for the state boards,are licensed as such when med techs and uaps have as little as 4 weeks training.I feel that it is not a lack of intelligence but opportunity that many of us are LPNs.I would prefer to work with nurses that have skills and not leave something as important as an IV to someone who flipped hambergers before changing IVs.
