This might vary state to state, so I would get advice from someone from NC or contact the board of nursing for NC. That being said, at my previous job in VA we had LPNs operate equipment in the procedure room which included performing polypectomies via snare or forceps. Hope this helps. Good luck to you.
I'm in the same boat. I think I have submitted around 20 applications and have gotten one rejection letter and one interview. I JUST got the interview yesterday and it has been four weeks. I moved to Westminster in June. Best of luck to you. Try not to take it personally...that's what I'm trying anyway. And hey...what about the nursing shortage???
