In addition to recording vital signs, LPNs often post reports on fluid intake and output, treatments given and unusual behavior or reactions to medications. They may help recovering patients attend to their bathroom needs and get in and out of bed, as well as assist with feeding and personal hygiene activities such as teeth brushing, hair combing, shaving, bathing and dressing.

Salary: $41,540 per year

Education: Licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses must complete a state-approved educational program, which typically takes about 1 year to complete. They must also be licensed.

Reflection: This Job does not interest me at all. I don't want to be a licensed practical nurse.
