Video Overview
A brief introduction to the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) career. Produced for the US Dept. of Labor.
A Day in the Life
As a licensed practical or vocational nurse, you are on the front lines of patient health care. You see to the basic needs of patients and are often their most frequent point of contact.
You are on the front lines of patient health care.
Supervised by an RN or physician, your day often includes:
- Taking vital signs
- Administering injections
- Maintaining records and paperwork
- Assisting patients with bathing and dressing
- Educating patients and families
Your shift begins on a hospital ward with a round of administering medications. You also check each patient's bag fluid levels, note vital sign monitor readings, and alert the appropriate RN or physician of anything unusual. You chat for a few moments with each patient as this gives you valuable information about their condition and also comforts them.
A vital part of your job is to monitor lab results.
A vital part of your job is to monitor lab results. You track when specimens have been sent for analysis and follow up with the lab on missing values. Using your training and knowledge of individual patients, you check the results for anomalies that should be reported. RNs and physicians depend on your observation skills to help catch issues early.
Administrative tasks take your time between rounds.
Administrative tasks consume a significant amount of your time between patient rounds. You update report sheets and patient charts, check notes from the previous shift, and explain changes to aides. Your station receives numerous fax and phone requests for information, and you make sure that they are all answered or noted for the next shift. When patients are transferred or discharged, you attend to the exacting paperwork that must be completed.
At the end of the day... the family leaves with more peace of mind.
In the afternoon, you meet with a family who will be caring for a relative discharged after major surgery. With clarity and compassion, you instruct them on the basic nursing tasks they will need to perform. You also let them know what to expect from the patient physically and emotionally. The family leaves with more peace of mind, and you end your shift with a final chart update.
Certifications and Licensing
All candidates must pass a national exam, the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN), in order to obtain licensure as a licensed practical or vocational nurse. Most states employ the title of licensed practical nurse (LPN) while a few states use licensed vocational nurse (LVN). However, the job responsibilities and licensure requirements are the same. Several states accept a multistate version of the license, called a compact license, which allows practical nurses to practice in any participating state.
Job Flexibility
Full-time versus part-time:
Most practical nurses are employed full time. As nursing is needed around the clock in most facilities, nurses often work evenings and weekends. They may also have extended shifts. Some nurses work per diem or on call, which can provide more flexibility.
Work location:
Most practical nurses work in hospitals. Others practice in nursing homes, medical offices, and schools. Those employed by home healthcare agencies spend considerable time in patients' homes.
