Just about everything a RN can do but set up and start a blood Transfusion, Push IV drugs and administer some Cardiac drugs. LPN's are trained in all aspects of patient care, just like a RN. LPN'S can work as Directors of Nursing, over RN's.

LPN can be trained in specialties just like RN's.

Can a LPN work in a magnet hospital?

Answer Two: An LPN can work in a Magnet Certified Hospital. The ANA does not define the role. The hospital may determine who they hire to perform which duties. As long as the LPN is working within their scope of practice and the hospital meets the guidelines required for Magnet Certification an LPN can work at a Magnet Hospital. There is a not a requirement for Magnet status that says you may not employ LPNs. Answer One: No, a LPN cannot work as a Nurse in a Magnet Certified Hospital. The ANA Magnet Organization does not define a roll nor recognize the existence of a LPN. An LPN can work in other capacities such as a Nursing Assistant, Janitor, Unit Secretary, or any other job that they are qualified other than a LPN.
