I really enjoyed the articel Value Them All in the most current magazine. I agree with the author that the LPNis a valued member of the healthcare team. They provide excellent bedside nursung care because the majority of their training is technical/clinical where the RN is more involved in other areas. Some of the best nurses I have ever worked with in my 30+ years as an RN were LPNs.
