Ankle wounds can be considered as pressure wounds but this wound could be considered as a surgical dehissed wound or a full thickness wound- Narcotic Irregularities
Since that incident the whole system was changed and now use a sure med for all patients medications- Narcotic Irregularities
Some pixis systems are not connected to pharmacy and have to be counted every shift. This happened to me on the 11-7 shift the chg nurse was only removing meds for post op pt of the LVN's to give IVP pain meds and only the confused pt's . I was double checking all the pain meds given from the pixis on my pt's and the times that the meds was taken out was when I was at the bedside and the chg nurse was not in the room I had a witness another LVN we were both turning the paticular pt. and we both double checked the medication was charted at that time, this also happened to her pt this was reported and the charge nurse confessed she was taking the medication . the nurse went throu tpapn and now she is a NP- Are LPNs nothing but a "set dressing?"
I work in a hospital where I can do any thing a RN do except hang blood after the blood is hung I monitor the blood. There are no charge nurses the unit secetary is a LVN and she functions as a charge nurse would. Keeping up w/the lab work contacting Dr.'s Monitoring the work load the only thing the LVN cannot be a supervisor and the Lvn get paid quiet well the pt load is the same RN to LVN ratio . I am preparing to attend RN school, I was even the Wound Care Coordinator , untill new CEO was hired and wanted a certified RN- Are LPNs nothing but a "set dressing?"
