RPN Practice
Imagine that the current pandemic crisis occurs in 2 years when you have completed your studies and are a licensed RPN practicing in what you imagine to be your ultimate environment – on an acute mental health unit, member of an ACT team, residential care or forensics. In a 1000-1250 word essay, explore how your new role as an RPN would compare to that of an LPN if this pandemic occurred in 2 years’ time. Your discussion should include a reference to a change in scope of practice, code of ethics and competencies. What would you expect to be doing differently? the same? the clientele? your supportive role? Your essay must be in APA format and include a title page, thesis statement, introductory paragraph and conclusions, and reference page. Three academic peer-reviewed references minimum that supports your thoughts and opinions are required. (Non-academic references will be penalized 5%
