The LPN is an entry-level nursing licensure and not a degree. An LPN studies in a Practical Nurse program and once successfully completes this, is eligible to take the exam for licensure. Though it varies from state to state, LPNs are trained to do basic patient care in courses including Anatomy/Physiology, First Aid, Pharmacology, Diet/Nutrition, Geriatric Care, Pediatric Care, Psych. Care, and more.

Does an LPN learn EKG duties?

No. A LPN, as part of his/her education, does not learn EKG or rhythm strip interpretation. That said, there is nothing to stop a LPN from learning and studying on their own time. I do not believe it is within their practice scope, however.

Becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse?

When you make the decision to change careers and you are looking for a job that offers not only a higher salary, but higher job satisfaction as well, then becoming an LPN might be what you are looking for. Adult students who are looking for a change and want to become a member of the highly in demand field of health care will find that attending an LPN program will be the fastest path to a new and more rewarding career. The benefits of becoming an LPN include more than the salary. There is great satisfaction in helping people and as an LPN, you would be providing most of the care that a patient receives. Additionally, once you are an LPN, you are qualified to study to become a registered nurse or even a nurse practitioner. And, you can complete the course of study while working as an LPN. There are many educational assistance programs designed to help students who are taking LPN classes right now. LPN classes will train students to provide patient care. They learn about recording vital signs and when to watch for warning signs. They learn to administer medication and give injections. They learn about keeping patients comfortable and helping them to communicate with other hospital staff. The classes offered in an LPN program train students in each of these specific areas. There is also an entire host of prerequisite classes that include things like communications and computer operations. There are math classes that are specific to the needs of licensed practical nurses and things like anatomy and chemistry are a part of every program. Many LPN classes can be completed online, although not every LPN training program will offer this option. It depends on the course and whether there are hands-on requirements for the course. It is a good idea to ask up front if you can complete any of the requirements online. This is a great benefit to students. Ask about financial aid when considering LPN classes. This is a good idea, and since health care professionals are in high demand, there are many scholarship, grant and loan programs available to help students who qualify for the programs. Every program will offer different forms of assistance, so talk to as many LPN programs as possible to find out who can help you complete your education the fastest.

What if you dont have any qualification can you still study to become a nurse?

That is how all nurses start out. They get their high school diplomas. Then they can enroll in an LPN program if they are accepted, or they enroll in a RN program. Some colleges have prerequisites before they accept students into an RN program. Nurses with an RN make more money than nurses with an LPN.
