Nursing Types I – LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse)

 Are you considering a job in the health care industry?

If you do, but you are not yet ready for the 4-year nursing course to become a Registered Nurse, then perhaps you should consider being a Licensed Practical Nurse first.

Like a Certified Nursing Assistant, Licensed Practical Nurses are supervised by RNs or doctors in the work place. LPNs are more qualified though than CNAs, since they complete a one-year training program. One step closer to becoming a Registered Nurse than the CNAs.

LPNs get to choose where they want to work – whether in a hospital setting,  nursing homes, private residences and so on. They work closely with RNs and learn by being more like their apprentice. Experiencing what the actual nursing life is in a shorter time of schooling.

Now when you finally feel that you are ready for a full commitment to the nursing industry and you want to be more qualified – not to mention earn more – then go forward with your career by continuing your studies and finish a 4-year degree in nursing.
