Rationale: Often the LPN/LVN finds she has increased responsibility and autonomy when working in a long-term care facility as compared with an acute care center. Salary might be the same, less, or more than she was paid working at the acute care center, and conclusions cannot be drawn about this. Hours of work depend on the hours she chooses to workâfull time is still 36-40 hours, depending on whether the facility works 8- or 12-hour shifts. Workload should be comparable.
