I only use PPS where I work

I am an RPN (same thing as an LPN) and I work at 2 hospices. I do everything the RN does and I can pronounce death where I work. The RN's will sometimes take the patients if they are actively dying but not always since I can handle them just fine. I don't see why you couldn't hire LPN's and have them do everything the RN does but just call an RN to pronounce when the patients do die.

Registered Practical Nurse, so I don't have a bachelor in nursing. I have a college diploma.

I am a new grad RPN and I have an interview at a major cancer hospital for an oncology inpatient unit. I am wondering what kind of responsibilities I would have on this type of unit? I know it will be different than the RN's on the unit but I am not sure what exactly happens on an inpatient unit. I also want to be as prepared as possible for my interview so if anyone has any advice at all I would be so grateful! Thank you, everyone!
