This describes the responsibilities that LPN have in my facility in Virginia. (Recently moved form VA to SoCAl). We have LPN's who are unit managers. Whoever said that LPN's are Glorified aids is ignorant. LVN's are a untaped resource out there at times and especially with the nursing shortage. I dont see how and why some hospitals are doing away with LPN's. We have the ability to help the RN's out and work together to make our jobs easier.
