Licensed Practical Nurse

Duties and Responsibilities:

    Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) work with and under the direction of registered nurses and physicians.  They care for injured, handicapped, and sick patients.  Their duties include taking temperatures, blood pressures, and pulses.  They also give injections, change dressings, and help give patients baths.  In general, they care for patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and extended care facilities.  Some practical nurses work in private homes.

Average Salary:  $16,000 - $23,000

Educational Requirements:

    Although a high school diploma or GED certificate is not always required, it is encouraged.  LPNs 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 think that I dont want to be a practical nurse, because I'd rather be a doctor.
