Sounds typical! I believe your problem lies more with the 'system'than with yourself. I've only been an LPN for a short time; however, it seems apparent that LPN's are an abused class of nurses. Medication errors are inevitable with such a heavy load which is why I've already been advised to keep such errors a "secret" as they are so common!! I'm amazed at the general flavor of helplessness and diminished confidence I'm reading under the "LPN Section." Organize!
Last week, Brookhaven Memorial Hospital in East Patchogue, NY laid off 80 LPN's with the notices timed to hit after the Memorial Day Weekend began! Is this happening nationwide? Are LPN's really second class nurses?
