I have seen this happen before in a hospital that I worked for 1 yr. ago....we basically had to "give in" to make the pt. happy and not cause any "problems" ...so an RN had to switch assignments with a very capable LPN....it is a shame that people are so predjudice against LPN's and CNA's ...it is sad ...I do agree that an RN should be available for all pts. , but in this case I feel as though the pt. was being very difficult..that is part of the reason I am continuing my education to become an RN, alot of pts., nurses , and doctors do look down on you if you do not have your RN degree ....
