These changes are a direct result of health care reform. Hold on to your hats ladies and gentlementhe ride gets bumby from here. Even RN wages are going to suffer under this new law. Let's only hope it can be repealed!

Please explain how this is a result of "the new Healthcare reform"?Originally Posted by hppygr8ful
the Hospitals in my area phased out LPNs long before Obamacare.. they did it because the LPN cannot assess.. or maintain certain more increasingly popular procedures such as Picc lines.. It was scope of practice, changing healthcare Practice models, and sicker pts that killed the acute care LPN.. at least down here in Florida.
As an new LPN I don't like it but it is next to impossible to find Acute care work.... but I was fortunate enough to get into a Acute Rehab hospital straight out of school (largely due to the years I worked there as a CNA) but was informed I was the LAST LPN they were hiring... only RN's at that point and that I had better have plans to start work on my RN. The downside is the area is practically a Nurse Mill with 4 schools putting out rounds of MA's, LPN's, and RN's as often as twice a year.... RN's have trouble finding work locally... over half my graduating class of 26 from 8 months ago still isn't working... I am only 1 of 2 with a fulltime position... so they know they can treat you however they want cause your not going anywhere without a Major relocation.
