Interested in working on the front lines of health care?

Consider become a licensed practical nurse

LPNs provide care indivisuals, families and groups

They work in many different health care centres

either alone or as a part of a team

We talk to an LPN to find out more

My name is Cathy Fuhr and I'm an LPN ^^

An LPN is a Licensed Practical Nurse

We are front line professional nurse. it does direct patient care

I always think I wanted to be a nurse

and It didn't happened right out of the high school as I first expected

But I chose as a secondary or third career rather to pursue my nursing dream

and I did it as a matual student

with my three kids raised and out of the house and went back to school

and that's what I finally got to do what I wanted to do!

I work 8 hour shifts and I have done 12s before but not currently

My first part of the day always involves coming extra early 

so I can start with a cup of coffee to get me going and

make me feel ready

Then what I wanna do is take a look at what my patient assignment is gonna be for that day

so that I can inticipate what I know is going to happen

and plan, prepare and get my items ready and so on

I will check the charts to make sure that the lab values are appropriate for the

treatment they are getting

I'll look and see whether there are special isolation requirements that I need to

plan a head of the time

I'd like to see what source of medications I might need to look up

in case of I'm not familiar with them 

and I get that all ready out of the way
and then we have the time

I'm some what organized so that the unanticipated things can be done with better

Typical days here don't exist

but what I do cover in a range of we can include things like

getting a blood transfusion happening and started

and LPN doesn't actually initiate the blood transfusion

but we are responsible for covering the rest of the aspects of it

Monitoring patients through that

I assist with procedures with doctors

and I work right side by side with them

We might be taking fluid of from chest for people who were

building up too much fluid of the abdomen

So there is a lot of, variety in what we do

But I say you're always teaching

regardless of what it is you are doing with patient with that day

you are teaching them you are helping them through

the disease process, the system how to get to help that you need

We are telling them about the different kinds of diciplines there are out there 

that they might not be aware of that

They can access and they can top into to help their family through this crisis

an LPN can be employed in variety settings

I'm in a what's called Acute care, hospital environment

but LPNs are also engaged and work in nursing homes

where they might even take more of supervisiory roll of nursing attendence

they are involved in education
they are involved in private clinics as well as doctors' offices

LPNs going home care

there is quite a variety of settings

when we hired the into the ? of LPNs
we are looking for people who are highly motivated to learn new skills

we do get the LPNs to work within their scope to the highest degree of thier scope

as for port by the College of Licensed Practical Nurses

we want staff members who are excited to learn

we want staff members who are approach and challenge and looking for new experiences

and to get out there to help people

advanced an opportunity is we perhapse rull out more in a space

where you might supervise over nursing attendance depending on the practice setting

you might advance your practice by specializing

you can go into becoming an orthotech is what they call

you would learn how to put a cast on patient and how to cut those off

so very specialized to orthopedics

you can also take a program that allows you to work in operating room

you will assis in there, you get things ready

and then you are specialized just in that area

There are opportunities of course for you to expend your own knowledge

work into any particular specialization exist with nursing

As a nurse there has to be a balance because when you work with your patients

who are acutely ill you can take home their sorrow and their burden their disease

and when you do that you burn out, so you have to be able to some what

check it at the door, be able to go home and spend time in leisure

that helps you maintain a healthy mind

so when you come back the next day

You are refreshed and you better able to help that patient

.

I'm very happy that I decided to persue that dream of mine to become an LPN

and what I find most satisfing about being a nurse is that

it really did make a difference

it makes diffrence to that one person, to that family

if you chose to become an LPN which I think is a darn good thing

be prerare you are always be a nurse

you have to be called to the job and then you like it

if you are not, it won't fit

you have to be well suited and when you are, it's the best thing you can do
