  3. Can I get in trouble for this????

    BinkieRN replied to vanurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't talk to the physician. Let management handle it. You did nothing wrong and may not even be involved. It could be that ER didn't send a complete set of orders or that they were her routine...

    BinkieRN replied to lovelynurse123's topic in Nurses Recovery

  15. Why are LPNs not allowed to do more?

    BinkieRN replied to GaMBA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I disagree Suequatch, the public definately does know the difference. We have patients complain all the time when their primary is an LPN. It makes me angry because every LPN I work with is totally...

  16. Why are LPNs not allowed to do more?

    BinkieRN replied to GaMBA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  17. Why are LPNs not allowed to do more?

    BinkieRN replied to GaMBA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
