Thanks for your reply. It is the RN who is not allowing the lpn's to use there skills due to the fact she doesn't use them her self so she no longer knows how the correct way, so instead of her letting me use my full scope experience she calls for help elsewhere, a pride issue i guess? She is more concerned with making friends and being a push over to most on the floor. I guess when she found out i was a more professional minded then the rest it makes a issue? I am in a long term care facility and last nursing home i worked in we were able to do these things?? Thank god i am going for my RN it will take another year but can;t wait!

I am a new LPN of one year and I feel like i am still working as a CNA? My RN does not allow you to try to use your skills? After all the schooling time and money I am not able to use any of it. Should i stay where i am or should i try to move on so i can learn and use more skills, i pass meds and give pt care, no g-tbes,iv's,ng-tubes,trac's put it this way..if i get to do a catheter i am very lucky! Should i stay or move on?

I am a LPN, does this school offer something for me to persue my RN/

I am a new lpn and have a job offer at a VA hospital on the long term care unit or is it better to take the public nursing home lpn position? Any feedback very helpful!

Thank you. I am also concerned about the cleanliness of a few of my cna's. In otherwaords should i speak up on the matter? I am a very assertive person and love nursing, but i am new and don't know when or if i should address this issue??

Thank you very much! As this is what i have learned in the past to do also! Thank you for confirming what i felt i should do

Hello! I have a question. I just started my job as a LPn and there seems to be alot of changes taking place on my unit which is a acute care floor, I can feel alot of tension within the other co-workers and wondering if there is some good advice on this issue? When you start a new job you don't want others to think you are coming in making changes- i just want to do things the way i was taught and from what i learned in my years dealing with other medical professions. I don't want to copy things i can see arn't correctly done but also do not want to make any waves being a new person on my floor. Any advice would be helpful
