Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

Duties and Responsibilities:

Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) provide basic nursing care. They work under the direction of registered nurses and doctors.

Salary:

$41,540

Education:

Licensed practical must complete a state-approved educational program, which typically takes about 1 year to complete. They must also be licensed.

Reflection:

I wouldn’t like to become a nurse. I think they always seem to get pushed around or mistreated in the medical industry. The pay is a bit too low. I don’t think I would be able to handle all the hours and energy this career requires.
