Ready For LPN Jobs
Julie was thinking about a starting an LPN program with the intention of becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse, or LPN. She was very enthusiastic but her husband advised her to make sure she knew what was involved in the role before committing herself.
So Julie spoke to her friend, Kate who was an LPN and she told Julie that there were a few things she really ought to know about most LPN jobs
before going ahead.
Kate produced a list. The list said LPN jobs require the following:
- To spend lots of time on your feet.
- To deal with difficult patients.
- To not get too attached to patients.
- To be prepared to lift and handle patients in the provision of personal care.
- To deal with the emotions relating to patients who were very ill.
- To deal comfortably with dangerous chemicals.
- To work well under pressure.
Julie read the list with growing concern. It appeared that there was more to the LPN career than she had realised. She resolved to look further into whether the LPN job was really what she was looking for.
