Positions are classified in this series when the primary responsibility is for nursing care which
requires less than full professional nursing education but requires the knowledges and skills
represented by licensure as a licensed practical (vocational) nurse. Such positions typically
involve an understanding of the requirements for a patient care plan, knowledge and skill in the
preparation and administration of medications, knowledge of physical and emotional reactions to
a variety of treatment procedures and skill in maintaining effective work relationships with
facility staff, patients and the members of the treatment or nursing care team in the direct service
to patients.
Positions in this series are referred to as practical nurses, in some areas as vocational nurses, and
are prepared to function under the direction and supervision of a professional nurse and/or
doctor. As member of the health care team, they give nursing care to patients, and generally are
considered next in skill level to the professional nurse.

You could shove the facts up RCG's big nose and he'd still claim victory all the while deluding himself into believing everyone else thinks he's won as well.
Quote from PHOENIX TRADING:
I'm sorry this is no way proof of anything.
I can't help it that the DOL is a bit imprecise with their wording here.
What they are referring to as " full professional nursing education" or "full professional Nurse" is the "registered Nurse education and licensure". Yes RN's are professionals they supervise LPN's but just because they are professional does not mean LPN's are not also professionals too.
One profession supervises another profession.
MD's (professionals) supervise and direct Rn's (professionals) who supervise LPN's (also Professionals).
rcg is like a drowning man here grasping at straws.
Pretty damn funny if you ask me .

here ya go mrbill.
Notice, the terms....requires education LESS THAN full professional nursing.
lpns are not professionals. That is why one license reads "Registered Professional Nurse" and the other license does not have the word professional in the title. This is in all 50 states and is in accordance to the Nurse Practice Act. Lpns, like secretaries, have codes of professional conduct, but acting like a professional does not make you one.
And you've posted enough lies embellishments and exaggerations for everyone not on your "team" to know you're full of shit.Quote from RCG Trader:

OK, I may have to back to my other parallel. The CPA vs. the Accountant, or Enrolled Agent.
LPN's are licensed, but are not categorized in the same professional category as a RN. Still a bit of semantics, but recognized.
Quote from RCG Trader:
So if in an lpn has less education than a professional nurse then they are not a professional.
