I may be wrong, but I think it changes from state to state. In Michigan, an LPN cannot start an IV in the nursing center, but can in the hospital. They are not supposed to initiate a care plan, but can alter it, and end it. In New Mexico, the IV question isn't a problem, but drawing blood for labs was a year ago. Kind of depends on who was running for what office that year, and how much money they were able to garner from the lobbyists. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 2:10 PM Subject: Re: LPN's
