Rn being trained by lpn?

What kind of training?

It depends upon the areas in which the LPN is training the RN.

Administrative duties?

Corporate policy?

Office flow?

How to assess a patient?

Administering nursing care?

Too little information given to form an opinion.

As an LPN in the hospital, I train RNs to do specific tasks like ABGs, port access, etc. However, they are primarily trained by their preceptor for more of their overall role.

As an LPN in LTC, Rs and Ls have near identical jobs. Think of it as orienting, rather than training. I'm sure many ppl will say an LPN cannot instruct an RN regarding practice. This is the loop hole- "orienting" vs training.

Ppl are trained in school. Ppl are oriented at jobs

Sorry for the vagueness. Lpn training rn for the role of an office nurse. Duties include histories , vaccines, fingersticks, u/a, strep cultures in a Primary care office

Sounds like a very typical orientation. I'd not be surprised if an MA were to orient the RN.

If the LPN is competent, I don't see anything amiss with it.

Yes, it is extremely common in settings where there is little or no difference between the two job roles.

As a student (which your name indicates), you would do well to learn early not to get to caught up in title wars. Learn from every reliable source that comes your way.

I was oriented to my job by an LPN at a LTC/SNF. At that job, many of the RNs were brand new and the LPNs all had tons of experience. So it made sense that most new nurses were trained/oriented by LPNs. I learned some great skills from them!

What are your thoughts about this?

Very common in LTC and clinics. I'm not sure about hospitals.
