SC Regulatory Context
Under the South Carolina Nurse Practice Act (Section 40-33-42), an LPN is authorized to provide nursing care, participate in patient care planning, and supervise subordinate personnel (such as CNAs) under the supervision of an RN or physician. Furthermore, South Carolina DPH Regulation 61-17 for Nursing Homes requires the facility to designate a full-time RN as the Director of Nursing, while allowing facilities the operational flexibility to utilize qualified LPNs in supportive and delegated administrative/supervisory roles.
