Hello everyone(or is it y'all lol) I'm a new grad LPN. Just found out hubby being transferred to Mexico (Juarez?) so we will be moving to El Paso within the next 6 months. I've been there before and I'm fine with the city and WILL NOT miss the snow. I've heard all kinds of rumors about Tx and LVN's and hope someone would be kind enough to help me figure this stuff out. I've heard Tx is the only state in the counry without a nurse practice act so how is your scope of practice defined? I've also heard anyone can do what LVNS do without a licence as long as they don't call themselves LVN. Can this possibly be true? So what exactly do you do as an LVN in texas? In Ohio our classwork does not include IV certification ,does it in TX? What about meds ? Here it is part of the program and you do not need NAPNES certification to pass meds what about TX.I dread the thought that I'm lacking something that I need to practice! If anyone is from EL Paso or knows anything about the job situation and starting pay rate I'd really appreciate hearing from you! Is hospital or LTC more abundant? Thanks for your time!!
