(
I-Canada-News.Com, July 26, 2012 ) La Prairie, Canada -- Licensed Practical Nurse Course has put together a treasure trove of information for the benefit of those seeking to become a licensed practical nurse (LPN). From education requirements to job search, the website presents the information clearly and concisely to help aspiring LPNs make the right decision prior to embarking on their journey.
LPNs provide patients with nursing care under the supervision of a licensed health care professional, and are an important part of the healthcare industry. The profession is always on demand and provides a decent pay with, to some extent, job security. The demand for the position is slated to grow at a rate of 22 percent over the next few years with a salary of about $40,000 a year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
However, Licensed Practical Nurse Course cautions those contemplating the profession about the fact that it is not for the faint of heart. The job is very demanding and often places the LPN in very challenging positions. Those who can’t handle pressure situations or lack the compassion and desire to help people, on a consistent basis, will more than likely find it hard to remain in the field.
As far as training, the website asserts that programs can be taken both on-campus and online, provided they are offered by an accredited institution. Both on and off-campus programs provide the same quality training, and consist of instructional classroom learning and hands-on training. Courses include:
• Introduction to Pharmacology
• Introduction to Psychology
• Patient Education
• Communicable Diseases
• Diet Therapy
• Geriatric Nursing
• And more…
According to Licensed Practical Nurse Course, before settling on a school, aspiring LPNs need to check with the state’s licensing board to ascertain that the institution is accredited. The next step is to compare financial aid availability and tuition costs.
Licensed Practical Nurse Course also covers going from an LPN to a registered nurse via a BSN, Bachelor of Science in Nursing. According to the website, many LPNs opt to further their education by acquiring the degree, which helps tremendously in the advancement of their careers.
