Licensed Practical Nurse

Duties and responsibilities: Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) provide basic nursing care. They work under the direction of registered nurses and doctors.

Salary: $41,540 per year

Education: Licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses must complete a state-approved educational program, which typically takes about 1 year to complete. They must also be licensed.

  Reflection: I would like to become one because it’s kind of like a doctor but more of a nurse and that’s a job I’m looking for to help kids and adults. It also pays well.
