I am desperately searching for an article relating the difference in scope for an LPN vs RN. It must be from a nsg journal, and published in the last five years, can't be a letter to the editor or an editorial. I've searched CINAHL, used the EBSCO host and I can't find anything. Does anyone have any suggestions ot maybe a different search term for me? Oh, I've also been to medscape, mdlinx, etc. Thanks!

Try the different BON websites they often will post their Nursing news letter ( you know the one that is sent out to every nurse licensed) and often they have different articles about things like this. I remember getting something like this from the Texas BON not to long ago.
Thanks! I've found some things in those, but I wonder if they would be considered a nursing journal?

Thanks Vicky!!! I don't know why I wasn't able to access those articles at ANA when I was searching, but they will be perfect!!
Edit: I'm going to use the article from the NCSBN due to the dates. Thanks again!!!
