well its true med techs r working in LTC and taking the place of LPN"s job. its comming to a place near U. I guess I should look for another job, cause I am about to lose mine to a med tech, a shame to the LTC . I hope that family members know that their loved ones will not have a nurse taking care of their loved ones, so that money can be saved...shame....:cry:
I am a LPN , and work in a nursing home. They are now wanting medication aids (cna's) to do some medications and cut out LPN's.. Also we have assisted living where the patients fall, send to the ER, and are under medicaid nursing,, What are the LPN's needed for...Help its like we are being weeded out.
