They fear the competition. They know that there is very little that they can do that we as LPN's can't do. In the current climate of managed care and cost cutting they fear for thier jobs. But by the same token, there are LPN's (ok, and RN's) that make other LPN's look bad by giving sloppy care, showing lack of attention to important details.

Let's not forget... Milk of Magnesia, citrate of magnesia, bisacodyl suppositories, glucagon, albuterol sulfate, ipatropium

amen!! it's amazing what can be accomplished when the staff works together as a team . regarding new medication orders, if it is transcribed incorrectly then it's a problem that needs to be written up. another reason i work the 11p-7a shift, so i can have the time to check on new orders. i know this isn't always possible for everyone.

I work in a LTC facility on the 3rd shift. I am the only LPN on the unit with 3 aides and 64 residents.
