LPNs take care of patients that have long term treatment needs. Often, these patients do not have a safe discharge plan to complete the treatment elsewhere and therefore continue to have a bed in the hospital. LPNs could have the opportunity to have hands on experience with wound care and IV antibiotics, among other long term care treatment. LPNs may often work beside acute care RNs but not directly in acute patient care areas. They work in collaboration with a C.N.A., charge RN, unit coordinator and physician. LPN staff with a variety of experience and backgrounds work on this unit. We strive to support learning and continuted education with all staff. Complex discharge units have medically stable but complex patients who are pending a safe discharge plan.
The LPN must think critically, be able to problem solve and be ready to learn. Excellent communication with teammates and patients is essential. The ability to maintain compassion for this complex patient population is also essential.
Staff on this unit value teamwork. Our physician partners work closely with this team to support in providing the best care posible for our patients.
