Who can supervise an LPN?
The Nurse Practice Act, CRS 12-38-103 (9), requires practical nurse services to be performed under the supervision of a dentist, physician, podiatrist, or professional nurse authorized to practice in this state. An individual, not listed above, may supervise LPNs when the focus of the supervision is on non-nursing job factors such as, but not limited to, attendance, leave utilization, and compliance with policies and procedures. www.dora.state.co.us/nursing/statutes/NursePracticeAct.
