I would like to knoe the answer to that I have 64 right now and I think it is too many have to start at 4 for 6 am med pass

Well I see the point I am an LPN with 64 patients right now 2 days a week and I pass meds,B/S, or tube feedings to at least 41 of them, I also work 11-7. The other 2 nighst a week I work on the rehab side and it only has 19 beds, easy nights. However I go over and help the LPN on the other side. I was actually told not to anymore today when I went in on the easy side. Dont know where the info came from but I still did because they need help. I hope it did not actually come from anyone in a position, because that really distraught me. I have never worked anywhere I was told not to help someone, what kind of team work is that. It may simply be one side against the other, or someone does not like her, haven't been there long enough to figure that out yet. However I am not doing it because it is my job, but because it is te right thing to do. So I really would like to know the legalities, only because they are probably using the number 2 nurses even though one only has 19 patients or less. But no matter how it turns out I will help, even if I don't get help when I am there. I guess when I chose this field I expected that more people would want to help people and to me that is in every aspect.
