Lpn's in Calif.

What is the status of Lpn's in calif? Is this a reality?

Plenty of work?

You don't know what you are talking about. CNA has established a position that only RN's count in the ratio's. But they are equally adament that no ancillary staff is to be cut for the ratio's ie LVN's CNA's etc. That is a ploy of the hospitals to cut the CNA's and LVN's.

it is definitely tougher to find the stuff in print about keeping LVNs aboard...if you have an lvn under you, how many patients would you be willing to take on? or do you prefer not to even delegate bedbaths, dressing changes, etc.? in your opinion is the whole ratio thing of 1:5 based on the notion that an LVN and CNA would help provide the total care...or that the RN would do it all?

just very curious as i've never seen an RN do a bedbath outside of ICU.
