Is this skilled care? What are you responsible for? Meds, Tx, orders? Sounds like a bit much for me! We have 48. 1 RN, 1 LPN and 3- 4 CNAs. Rn has 26pts,LPN 22. Each does their own meds, treatments, admits, orders. RN normally handles the docs and also does the cetral and PICC lines.

I am responsible for Meds, Tx's, Admits, Doc calls, orders, Everything from A- Z. There is an RN In the building but she has an assignment of her own, usually she has 20 pt's of her own, This is skilled and non skilled bed mix I have. The split is about half and half. I have 3 - 4 CNA's that work on my hall with me. They are a big help.

Thank you for the thread link.

Much Peace

I have 37 pts of my very own(I am an LPN, and I am the charge nurse on the 3-11 shift). In Ohio is is 1:50. In PA it's 1:45. I live right on the border, and I looked up both states to see which would be better in getting my license.
