Licensed practical nurse

Duties and Responsibilities:

    A licensed practical nurse (LPN) in much of the United States and most Canadian provinces is a nurse who cares for people who are sick, injured, convalescent, or disabled. LPNs used to be under the direction of registered nurses and are now under physicians.

Salary:

  $41,540

Education:

  LPNs are licensed by the state in which they practice. To obtain an LPN license, the state may require background checks and proof of education. Every state administers the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCLEX-PN) exam, which candidates have to pass to obtain their license.

Reflection:

    No I don’t think I would like to be a Licensed Practical Nurse. I wouldn’t want to work as the career because it’s not a very interesting job and it’s not the type of work I would like to do. Also they don’t get paid very much so no I wouldn’t want to be this.
