What tasks does a licensed practical nurse perform?

A licensed practical nurse (LPN) collaborates closely with registered nurses and physicians to deliver fundamental nursing care to patients. LPNs may have different responsibilities depending on the healthcare setting and state regulations. These duties can include monitoring patients, taking vital signs, changing bandages, and ensuring patient comfort. LPNs can work in hospitals, doctor‘s offices, urgent care clinics, and long-term care facilities due to the increasing demand for their services in these settings.
