It depends on the state/facility. Most LPNs are not allowed to perform blood transfusions, that is a task that cannot be delegated to ancillary staff, or those that are not registered nurses.
No LPNs can not give any IM injections.
The training to become a hemodialysis technician is six to eight weeks. The training is intended for RNs, LPNs, EMTs and other medical professionals. The requirements for certification vary from state to state.
yes LPNs are allowed to give lovenox. im an LPN student and were actually doing quite a lot of them
Yes LPN's in North Carolina are allowed to push morphine as long as they have obtained IV certification. Being able to do so depends upon the state in which an LPN is licensed.

I would be very surprised if LPNs didn't make more than parole officers.
LPNs are not becoming obsolete, but their role in the healthcare system is evolving. As the healthcare field advances, there is a growing demand for more highly skilled healthcare providers, such as registered nurses and nurse practitioners. LPNs may have limited scope of practice compared to RNs and NPs, which can impact their job opportunities in certain settings.
All hospitals would need lpns at some times. So all would advertise in some way.
LPNs may unfairly have to give portions of their salary to politicians who favor unions. This is done in some instances without consent.
Yes, they are licensed practical nurses (LPN).
What is the retirement plan of lpns?
