  12. Telephone orders now our responsibility?

    That does seem a bit rediculous to put the blame on the nurse who wrote the telephone order. nursing is 24/7 we all should help out. Not sure how your hospital is set up, but where is your nurse...

  25. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    I guess i should add... although i am quick to defend LPN's, i must say it does really matter how you were taught and the experience you get in school and more importantly, once you are out of school....
