§ Basic wound care including cleaning and bandaging injured areas
§ Giving injections of medication

A Licensed Practical Nurse, or LPN, is an integral part of the health care industry. People who are at least 18 years old, drugs-free, have a high school diploma and a clean criminal record meet the basic requirements for entering a training program for a career as an LPN. After successfully completing the training, you can get an LPN license and find employment at nursing homes, hospitals and doctor’s offices. Because the required training time is relatively short and the opportunities for employment are plentiful, an increasing number of people are considering a career as an LPN
