Licensed Practical Nurse
Duties and responsibilities: Many tasks are performed regardless of the job environment. The LPN will usually be the first medical professional to work with a patient. Recording the patient’s history is one of the first duties. Other jobs the LPN performs include: Giving medication as prescribed by a physician, Taking vital signs such as blood pressure, temperature, and weight, Basic wound care including cleaning and bandaging injured areas. Giving injections of medication, Immunizations. Taking medical histories. Entering information into computer systems.
Salary: annual salary $41,920
Education: Diploma in practical nursing; certificates available in some area. All licensed practical nurses must pass the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses

Personally I would not like to be an LPN performer it doesn't seem very interesting to me.
