LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse)

LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse)
Duties and Responsibilities: Most LPN's work in healthcare facilities, including hospitals, doctors’ offices, and nursing homes. Their duties generally include providing routine care, observing patients’ health, assisting doctors and registered nurses, and communicating with patients and their families.
However, many LPN's also work outside of traditional healthcare settings. Some LPN's are hired by families to provide private care for sick or injured individuals, while others work for businesses and provide basic care and health consultations to employees and customers.
Salary: $40,000
Education: Postsecondary nondegree award
Demand:Licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses must complete a state-approved educational program, which typically takes about 1 year to complete. They must also be licensed.

Reflection: I would not want to be a LPN because of the pay and it doesn't look interesting.
