According to CRS 12-38-103 (9), Practice of Practical Nursing, a practical nurse can not supervise an RN in regard to the practice of professional nursing and independent nursing functions. Nor can they supervise delegated medical functions. LPNs may supervise RNs when the focus of the supervision is on non-nursing job factors such as attendance, leave utilization, compliance with policies and procedures unrelated to nursing care. LPNs may supervise other LPNs in the practice of practical nursing other personnel such as CNAs (see the Nurse Aide Practice Act, 12-38.1-102 (5), Practice of a Nurse Aide). www.dora.state.co.us/nursing/statutes/NursePracticeAct.pdf www.dora.state.co.us/nursing/statutes/NurseAidePracticeAct.
