Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
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 pressure, and pulses. They also give injections, change dressings, and
help give patient 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. LPNs 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.
