Types of Nurses at Shannex<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Shannex, there are many different types of Healthcare and Clinical<\/a> professionals working to support seniors in our communities. The care teams in our nursing homes help residents with their medical needs through two kinds of nurses: Registered Nurses (RNs)<\/a> and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs)<\/a>. They work together as part of a skilled and dedicated care team ready to help residents whenever they need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The types of nurses at Shannex, LPNs and RNs, play an important role in communicating with others. For instance, they regularly speak and work with families, physicians and other care providers when caring for residents. They help build strong relationships with these groups to keep them up-to-date and aware of any changes in the health and wellbeing of residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, their role means being a leader for other fellow Great People <\/em>on the care team. They provide mentorship to people like Continuing Care Assistants (CCAs) and Personal Support Workers (PSWs)<\/a> as they lead through the Guiding Principles of being compassionate<\/em>, honest<\/em>, professional<\/em>, and safe<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Difference between LPNs and RNs<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stable\/Predictable vs Unstable\/Unpredictable Care<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In our long-term care communities, the care our nurses provide can differ between the needs of residents. The type of medical care residents require will determine whether a Licensed Practical Nurse or Registered Nurse will be the one to primarily provide them with their care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, our Licensed Practical Nurses will focus on supporting residents that\u2019s care is stable and predictable. They will provide residents with their daily medications such as in the morning, midday and evening. LPNs also support seniors with their wound treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registered Nurses often support residents that\u2019s medical needs are unstable and unpredictable. Their expertise helps provide additional medical care for those that need it most.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Difference in Leadership Responsibilities<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Both RNs and LPNs provide leadership to their care team, however, the level of leadership they provide can differ from one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Licensed Practical Nurse supervises the personal care and assistance with daily living activities that CCAs and PSWs provide to residents. The LPN\u2019s responsibility when supporting CCAs and PSWs is to foster and promote best practices for care. LPNs are there to help educate and give them learning opportunities as they evaluate their care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The role of a Registered Nurse is to direct the whole care team. They support their team through providing ongoing training and education for team members. This helps the team continue their growth as they keep their experience and knowledge up to date when caring for residents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
