License Practical Nurse (LPN)
A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) is a very popular type of nurse that can handle most simple and some complex medical procedures. However, an LPN must work under supervision of a registered nurse (RN) or physician. LPNs can start IVs in some states, and administer some medications. They are able to perform vital sign measurements - such as blood pressure, heart rate, pain management, oxygen saturation, and temperature.
An LPN license only takes from 9 months to 3 years, based on the college, to obtain at most college programs. You will find LPNs at most doctors offices, or in clinics and hospitals or home nursing situations.
