Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)

Duties and Responsibilities: Licensed practical nurses work with and under the direction of registered nurses and physicians.  They care for the injured, handicapped, and sick patients. Their duties are taking temperatures, blood pressures, and pulses. They give injections, change dressings, and help give the patients baths.   Most of all they care for patients in the hospitals, nursing homes, and extended care facilities. Some of the practical nurses work in homes of others.

Salary: $16,000 - $23,000

Education: Although a high school diploma or GED certificate is not always required, it is encouraged. Licensed practice nurses don’t have the extensive professional education that is required for a registered nurse.
