  8. Attention New Nurses in LTC. Night shift is where it's at.

    Lmomma replied to downsouthlaff's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Moreover, day shift staff usually straggled in 30 minutes late because "the daycare center doesn't open any earlier," so my 8-hour shifts were actually 9 to 10 hours each due to waiting for the...

  20. Help: Which states allow an LPN to Determine death?

    Lmomma replied to sposator's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    RIGHT?? That is how it is done here in Mass. Stupid! In LTC the DON must come in and pronounce death, as there is rarely an RN on the floor. The vast majority of LTC nurses are LPNs. So

    Lmomma replied to g2255lw's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
