Licensed practical nurse

Duties and responsibilities:

·         Monitor patients' health—for example, by checking their blood pressure.

·         Administer basic patient care, including changing bandages and inserting catheters.

·         Provide for the basic comfort of patients, such as helping them bathe or dress.

Salary:

$41,540

Education:

Aspiring LPNs need a high school diploma or GED to apply for an LPN educational training program, typically a 12-month program found in technical and vocational schools and community colleges. These programs award diplomas or certificates rather than degrees.

                                                               

Reflection:

I wouldn’t like to be a licensed practical nurse. The duties and such don’t call my attention.
