Licensed Practical Nurse

Duties AND Responsibilities: Licensed practical nurses provide routine care. They observe patients’ health and assist doctors. They also help registered nurses and give the instruction patients need about their medication, home care, and preventative life changes.

Salary: $41,540 median annual wage

Education: LPNs need a high school diploma or GED to apply to an LPN educational training program. The program lasts about a year and is found in technical and vocational schools and community colleges. They have to pass the subsequent NCLEX-PN licensing exam.

Reflection: I think this is a good career, it sound pretty simple yet it’s a good career to be in. I would most defiantly want to talk to a licensed practical nurse to hear from them their experience on this career.
