Licensed Practical Nurse
Duties and Responsibilities:
Licensed practical nurses work with and under the direction
of registered nurses and physicians. They
care for injured, disabled, and sick patients. Their duties include taking
temperatures, blood pressures, and pulses. They also give injections, change
their dressings, and help give patients baths.
In general, they care for patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and care
facilities. Some practical nurses work
in homes.
Average Salary:
$16,000 - $23,000
Educational Requirements:
Although a high school diploma or GED certificate is not always
required, it is better off to have one. Licensed practical nurses 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.
I do not think I would like to be a Licensed Practical Nurse
because of the salary.
Choose The Right!!!
