licensed practical nurse
Duties and Responsibilities : Licensed practical nurses work with and under the direction of registered nurses and physicians. They care for injured, handicapped, and sick patients. Their duties include taking temperatures, blood pressures, and pulses. The give injections, change dressings, and help give patients baths. In general, they care for patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and extended care facilities. Some practical nurses work in private homes.
Salary : $16,000-$23,000
Education : Although a high school diploma or GED certificate is not always required, it is encouraged. LPN’s do not have the extensive professional education that is required for a registered nurse. State approved training programs are offered by the hospitals, vocational schools, junior colleges and private schools.
Reflection : I would not like to be a licensed practical nurse because its not the career that i want to study in my long life career.
