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.

in some area. All licensed practical nurses must pass the National Council

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