Become a Licenced Practical Nurse (LPN)
Nursinglink
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) work under the direct supervision of RNs and physicians but are capable of performing most patient care tasks. These tasks include taking patients’ vital signs, temperature, blood pressure, and patient bathing. The only RN-specific tasks that LPNs are not able to do are to administer IVs, push pharmaceuticals, and hang the first unit of blood.

Can no one here read? You cant take LPN classes online. Alot of schools offere night classes part time and financial aid. They only offer some RN classes online after you get your LPN. I repeat THERE ARE NO ONLINE LPN CLASSES.

hello, I'm an LPN and I was wondering if anyone out there knows...
can LPN's take physcian orders?
can LPN's take admissions from ER?
we used to do the above all the time, and now we have a new person at our hospital and she states that the "nurse practice act does not allow LPN's to take physcian orders and LPN's can not take admissions"
now there is a MANDATORY meeting on thurs. for all the LPN's in the hospital!!!

Hello, I am 38 years old, I am currently attending a vocational school to become a LPN, I am in my first trimester and I have to say that I am very afraid at this point of my schooling. It seems to be so overwhelming, but through faith and perserverance I will overcome these fears. I have been a STNA for the past 10+ years, So I have a true love for the medical field and all that I do so moving on to the next step seems only natural. I just didn't realize that it would be this challenging, I mean I didn't expect it to be a breeeze but WOW......
