I work in Labor and Delivery and although other hospitals have used LVNs in both Labor recovery and Surgery recovery, this hospital says it is not in their scope of practice. The LVN is always working under an RN, never alone. Please help me with this issue as I really want to know what is legally right here in CA. This LVN has worked for many yrs in L&D recovery and can work circles around most RNs I know.
