As a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), you will be able to work closely with patients in various health care settings to maintain and provide their basic medical care. You will be supervised by registered nurses as you assess patients, administer medication, check routine vital signs, and aid in other simple medical procedures.

To become a Licensed Practical Nurse, most licensed schools allow you
to complete your LPN training in as little as 7 months to 1 year for a hospital certificate or just 2 years for an LPN degree from a trade school or community college. Afterwards, you'll need to pass the N-CLEX-PN certificate examination to become nationally certified. When comparing licensed practical nursing schools, it's a good idea to ask what sort of training the schools provide to prepare you for the LPN certification exam.

As a licensed practical nurse (and vocational nurse), you can earn up to $35,000 a year upon graduation, depending on where you're located and what type of medical facility you work in. For example, salaries in large metropolitan hospitals tend to be higher than salaries for LPNs in nursing homes. LPNs can also continue their studies to become a registered nurse, as many nursing colleges offer specialized LPN-to-RN degree tracks.
