Licensed Practical Nurse

       The things that LPN’s do are to give prescribed medication prescribed by the physician, take vital signs such as blood pressure and weight and temperature, basic wound care, give injections of medication, and entering patient information into the computer.

Salary:

Education:

       To obtain an LPN license, the state may require background checks and proof of education. Every state administers the National Council of State Boards of Nursing exam which candidates have to pass in order to obtain their license.

Reflection:
