When she was a little girl, Jennifer’s mother, who is also a nurse, put a nurse’s cap on her. From that moment on, she knew that she wanted to enter into the nursing field and help other people every day. With this goal in mind, she went on to earn her nursing degree from the Tennessee College of Applied Technology in 2014.
A licensed practical nurse (LPN) provides routine care for the sick or injured. They work under the supervision of doctors and registered nurses, performing duties such as taking vital signs, collecting samples, administering medication, ensuring patient comfort, and reporting the status of their patients to the nurses.
LPNs are generally hired in smaller settings, such as nursing homes, home health environments, and rehabilitation centers. They must be skilled in balancing care for patients and completing practical daily administrative tasks.
