      Licensed Practical Nurses provide essential care to patients/clients/residents under the supervision of a healthcare professional. They work closely with the healthcare team to administer medication, take vital signs, assist with meals, provide wound care, and provide nursing care to the population they are working with. LPNs (Licensed Practical Nurse) demonstrate effective therapeutic communication to provide care to their patients. LPNs work in a healthcare environment under the direction of a doctor or licensed nurse and offer basic medical treatment. Practical nurse duties could include checking blood pressure and vital signs, clothing patients, aiding with bathing, taking blood samples, and keeping records. There are many opportunities for LPNs to work in acute care facilities; long term care facilities ,clinics, medical offices, schools and
      group homes dependent upon which state and neighborhood you reside in. LPNs are a vital part of the healthcare team, and many individuals also choose to continue their education to become Registered Nurses and/or advanced care providers.
