What Does a Licensed Practical Nurse Do?

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.
