Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
Research, look for, and provide the following:

Duties and Responsibilities: The LPN will usually be the first medical professional to work with a patient. Recording the patient’s history is one of the first duties. Other jobs the LPN performs are
·         Giving medication as prescribed by a physician
·         Taking vital signs, such as blood pressure, temperature, and weight
·         Basic wound care including cleaning and bandaging injured areas
·         Giving injections of medication
·         Immunizations
·         Taking medical histories

And many other things.

Salary: $38,000-$58,000

Education: They need a High School Diploma or a GED certificate .


Reflection: I would like to be a Licensed Practical Nurse because they pay pretty good and it seems like a chill job.
