You are responsible for following the Nurse Practice Act in the state where you are licensed.  Failure to do so leaves you open to legal action.

The Scope of Practice as it is commonly called for LPNs, is so important that the Fall issue of PULSE, the magazine published by NALPN, is devoted to its discussion.     Please see the web site for the Louisiana State Board of Practical Nurse Examiners  https://www.lsbpne.com/laws-rules/scope-of-practice/ 

​

The annual conference of the National Association of LPNs in Kenner LA

October 13-15, 2024 will include a presentation on the Scope of Practice.       We hope all LPNs will make an effort to attend.
