Practical Nursing is a healthcare profession focused on providing basic care to patients under the supervision of registered nurses or doctors. Practical Nurses, often referred to as LPNs (Licensed Practical Nurses), play a vital role in hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics. They assist with daily activities, monitor patient health, and administer medications, ensuring that patients receive the support they need for recovery.
To become a Practical Nurse, individuals typically complete a practical nursing program that includes both classroom instruction and hands-on training. After finishing their education, they must pass the NCLEX-PN exam to obtain their license. This career offers a rewarding opportunity to make a difference in people's lives while working in a dynamic healthcare environment.
