LPN Jobs Overview
Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) have been called "the eyes and ears" of RNs and physicians. Although LPNs were initially trained to be bedside nurses in hospitals, their role has expanded to include much more hands-on care for patients. That's one reason why becoming an LPN is a great way to begin a nursing career. You can search for LPN jobs in hospitals, nursing homes, physicians' offices, schools, psychiatric centers, and more.
Working as an LPN, you'll do everything from assisting with patient comfort to administering medications and providing wound care. LPN training includes how to perform diagnostic procedures, such as EKG, penipuncture, PFT, and Doppler. These skills are always in high demand: The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 9% growth in LPN jobs over the next decade.
You might want to take a broad approach and begin looking for an LPN job with a search for healthcare technology jobs. You can also focus on similar positions with searches for:
LPN Training and Skills
LPN jobs provide a fast entry into healthcare. With a high school diploma or equivalent, you can complete an LPN program from a technical school or community college in one year. The classes you'll take as part of LPN training include nursing principles, pharmacology, intravenous therapy, diet, and nutrition. Before you graduate, you'll also have clinical training in a medical setting.
You can graduate with a diploma, certificate, or associate degree, which gives you a foundation to go back to school later to progress to the RN level of nursing if you'd like. To work as an LPN, you'll need to pass the National Council Licensure Exam.
Along with medical knowledge and technical skills, being an LPN requires patience, compassion, and kindness to best serve patients. Critical thinking and observational skills prepare you to work effectively with RNs and physicians.
