Our 62nd Annual Convention in Lima, OH was well worth all the efforts of planning. We enjoyed a number of dynamic speakers as we earned 9.5 Contact Education Credits towards license renewal for the upcoming renewal period. Our night on the town "Boobs & Booze" was big fun as well!

The Holiday Inn, known for providing the perfect blend of comfort and convenience was very generous with helping our organization in every way to make this event a success! The rooms and their service was second to none. I believe Sharon Rose Music would have been proud of her professional family of nurses for coming to her hometown, and doing the things she planned before her passing. 

The first day of convention was "power packed" with speakers: Deborah Peterson, RN, Barbara Schroeder, RN, Debbie Freece, MS, RN, Debbie Heidrich, RN, and Dr. Kay Soltesz. At our Opening Meeting after that evening we received a warm welcome from Lima's Mayor David Berger, then an uplifting keynote speech from the very Blessed, talented and inspiring Scott Bland . The evening was closed out by our State Chaplain Martha Pack, LPN.

The following day got off to a productive start a quality education presentation by speaker, Terry Pope, RN, BSN, followed by our Membership Awards Luncheon, honoring longtime (30 year) member Anna Marie Chambers, LPN (State Secretary). Then we remembered our deceased members with a special Memorial Service. We were happy to have with us the family of the late Sharon Music, whom partook in the Memorial Service with a Hymn as we went out. Emotions were such that we temporarily forgot the words to "Amazing Grace!" but our intentions were good.

Later, we then "squeezed in" an Executive Board meeting, before gathering in the lobby for a night out on the town with the exclusive intimate apparel shop "The Ritz" Intimately Yours. They catered to our group with Southern Hospitality as our group was treated to a one on one fitting service, after hours!  We went from this treat to a Wine Tasting experience at Vino Bellissimo Winery, whom welcomed our group of nurses with opened arms (and opened bottles of great tasting wine!). 

Day three got off to a great start with "The Good Start Buffet" breakfast and a presentation by Shasme' Jones, LPN (State President) sponsored by The Guardian Federation and the Ohio Independent Provider Network. We worked-in another business meeting before receiving our dose of reality on "Professional Boundaries" by Wynne Simpkins, RN, MSN of RWS Education, LLC. Her gift of this(Category A) was interesting as well as informative! We appreciate her contribution.

There was an abundance of beautiful door prizes, thanks to Elizabeth Santos-Mauntel, all Divisions and tote from our sponsors Dr. Kaufman of AMS Uniform Shop. We give special thanks to Mr. John Mauntel and Sarita Williams for their continuous background support as we set-up for our convention each day. Last; but not least we thank OmniCare for sponsoring a CE on Thursday.

The Grand Finale' of course is the Saturday evening Banquet where we enjoyed "The Icing on the Cake" by Scott Bland as he belted out a few songs between is inspirational words of wisdom. We were also graced by the presence of his lovely wife Liz Bland. We installed new (and previous) officers before the announcement of the LPN of The Year Award was bestowed upon Sister Gladys M. Forquer, LPN. For photos of the 62nd LPNAO State Convention please visit our Members Only page.

Our goal is to have more accurate tracking, provide improved Social Networking among nurses, including a special online store for members to assure member discounts are readily available to members only. 

This new system will also provide membership verification to our partner companies as they provide additional benefits to you. Our current website: www.lpnao.org will remain our main website for the general public's access.

On LPNAO.ClubExpress.com  members may login with a personal username and password provided upon joining LPNAO.

LPN Authorization to Administer Medications and Limited IV

LPN Authorization to Administer Medications and Limited IV

Verification of your nursing license is available at the License & Certificate page of the Board website. Your name, license number and expiration date is public information and may be viewed by anyone. Please note that when calling the Board office with questions about your license that Board staff generally will not use social security numbers as a primary means to verify licensure information. In December, the licensure designation for LPNs who are authorized to administer medications and to perform limited IV Therapy changed from "LPN IV" to LPN M-IV. License designations for LPNs are as follows:

An LPN who is authorized to administer medications, but not perform limited IV Therapy, will have a license designation of "LPN Meds".

An LPN who is authorized to administer medications and to perform limited IV Therapy procedures will have a license designation of "LPN M-IV".

If an LPN is NOT authorized to administer medications or to perform limited IV therapy procedures, they will have a license designation of "LPN".  Source: Ohio Board of Nursing
