What Does a Licensed Practical Nurse Do?

Licensed Practical Nurses deliver practical nursing care under the direction of registered nurses, physicians, and other authorized clinicians. Depending on state scope-of-practice rules and the employer, duties may include monitoring and documenting vital signs, assisting with daily care, administering certain medications and treatments, collecting patient information, and communicating changes in a patient’s condition to the care team.

Where LPNs Work

LPNs work across a range of care environments, including skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities, hospitals, outpatient clinics, urgent care centers, residential care settings, and patients’ homes. Responsibilities, schedules, and supervision vary by setting and local regulations. Some roles involve shift work, weekends, or direct patient support in specialized care areas.

Qualifications for LPN Jobs

Most LPN positions require completion of an approved practical nursing program, an active license in the state of employment, and successful completion of the applicable licensing examination. Employers may also look for current CPR certification, relevant clinical experience, strong communication skills, careful documentation habits, and the ability to work collaboratively with patients and care teams. Always review each posting for its specific requirements.
