UNE's
Can UNE's be used to replaced LPN's? What happens if they pick up regularly?

Re: UNE's
Hi,
No, UNE's cannot replace LPN's, strike or no strike. LPNs are regulated health professionals and UNE's are not regulated. UNE's need to have a RN supervising their practice and the RN supervising has to be comfortable the UNE is sufficiently trained and able to perform a nursing task before it can be assigned to the UNE.
