Hi all, my partner and I were having a discussion about where in the chain of medical command certain elements fall in. We established that EMT-Bs are lower than any hospital people except CNAs, paramedics are under RNs and the ER doc is basically god. What we were unsure about was the role of LVN/LPNs in relation. I said that they were above paramedics because they could supervise CCT transports, but my partner insisted they were below paramedics because paramedics can stick IVs in while basic LVNs cannot unless they get IV certified. Who is right?
