I ended up calling to the BON again and spoke to a representative that says she can not give me legal advice but she showed my in the practice acts where it states that LPN can only participate in assessment and where it says RN do assessments. I sent that to the owner of the company, RN, house manager and told them I am not going to do the initial assessment because its against the law and my scope of practice. I was asked if I would come in and just not do the assessment wth?? I've been so stressed about this my body is shaking on and off, headaches and loss of appetite. I could loose my job for telling them no but I will not break the law for anyone nor practice outside of scope and potentially loose my license. I'm upset that I would even be asked such a thing. Its a very stressful situation.
