quick question..ive never worked with lvns til I moved to TX sooo can anyone explain to me why the LVN cannot do an initial assessment but is competent to do later assessments either we trust their skills or we dont what is up with that!!!

I work couplet care ..all new pts(mom and baby) have an initial assessment by an RN and every 24 hour thereafter..I would never sign someone elses assessment without doing it myself and if thats what needs to be done why even assign the LVN the pts...

per diem is awesome but not much good unless you dont need benefits and can afford to be cancelled if necessary...you usually make a little more but are the first one cancelled if census is low...it is great if you are not the primary breadwinner and...

I mean bands are on and someone forgets to check..wrong mom is temporarily given someone elses baby and feeds it... tempers flare and everyone is upset...this has happened at all 4 nurseries I have worked at and that involves 3 different states.....
