text: what are things that i need to do as a lvn in a nursing home? points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? hi i needed to know what things the lvn does at nursing homes. i used to live in 1; usually they just go around & do whatever the nurse tells them to do-i.e., handout meds, paper work, breakfast, lunch & dinner. then when the night shift comes on they are checking on patients making sure that they are bedded down for the night; patients that have special problems they take care of those.
