Licensed Practical Nurse

             Licensed Practical Nurse

Duties and Responsibilities:

They work with and under the direction of registered nurses, and physicians. They take care of handicaps, injured, and sick patients. They have a lot of responsibilities with patients like checking there pulse, high blood pressure, and checking there temperature. They inject patients, change their clothes, and bath the patients. Their responsibility entirely is to take care of the patients in nursing homes, hospitals, and care facilities.

Average Salary:  $16,000- $ 23,000

Education:

Sometimes a high school diploma or GED is not always required, it is encouraged.  LPNs do not have the extensive professional education that is required for a registered nurse.  State approved training programs are offered by the hospitals, vocational schools, junior colleges and private schools. 

I do not think the I would like to be a licensed practical nurse because I wouldn't like to be changing the patients and having to put injections on the patients.

Some of these health care  administrators specialize in specific things like patient administration or purchasing.  Average Salary:$40,000-$110,000 Educational Requirements: Most students choose to get a master's degree in health administration or public health.
