About
Practical Nursing students learn the basic skills they need to assist registered nurses and doctors. LPNs typically work under the supervision of an RN or another medical professional and provide basic medical and nursing care such as checking blood pressure and inserting catheters, ensuring the comfort of patients by helping them bathe or dress, discussing health care with patients, and reporting status of patients to registered nurses and doctors.
