LPNs work as part of an interdisciplinary team and can receive mentorship from RNs. Many hospitals are eager to invest in their clinical staff, so your employer might help you pursue further education to become an RN.
However, sometimes an LPN performs the same duties as a certified nursing assistant since their scope of practice is limited. Just like hospitals, physicians' offices can offer diverse career options and nursing specialties for LPNs.
Compared to hospitals and nursing homes, physicians' offices tend to have predictable schedules and office hours, which can help with work-life balance. As an LPN, you'll support physicians and nurses and assist patients. Yet, physicians' offices don't offer much potential for professional growth and development.
Home healthcare is growing, offering more home health nurse opportunities. This growth results from a combination of new technology for remote monitoring and the increased awareness that aging at home is more comfortable and often cheaper.
LPNs carry out the care plan created by the RN. Common duties include wound care, administering medicine, teaching patients and caregivers about treatment, drawing blood, and urinary catheter care.
You also assist patients with daily activities and help monitor their well-being. Working in home health allows you to have a flexible schedule with the option to work independently. However, almost all home healthcare LPNs work for an agency rather than as independent contractors. LPNs are typically paid by case and not hourly, so salary is based on the number of patients seen not the hours worked. Driving from home to home is also a factor.
Government facilities provide a variety of LPN career options and offer good benefits, including retirement plans. Many government employers include financial aid for nursing education in their benefits. As in other settings, your work will consist of supporting clinical staff and assisting patients. Like physicians' offices, there is typically little room for professional growth.
If you enjoy working with children or youth, there are a number of LPN careers available in schools. You'd work with a school nurse or other clinician and help communicate with patients' families.
One advantage of working in a school is that most of your work will involve caring for children with minor injuries or conditions. School nurses also have summers off. However, treating children who have been abused or seriously injured can be difficult emotionally. Clinics employ LPNs to support nurses and other practitioners. Working in a clinic can be tremendously rewarding. You help patients who are in the most need of healthcare and, often, human contact and compassion.
Clinics, though, have high patient loads which can be emotionally draining. While many clinics are underfunded, some are able to provide financial support for continuing education for nurses. Hospice nurse care, like nursing home care, is one of the most rewarding yet emotionally demanding career options for LPNs.
Hospice care serves patients who are expected to live six months or less, either in their homes or at a hospice facility. Another end of life care nursing is palliative nursing which serves those who have a longer life expectancy.
Because hospice care emphasizes caring for the whole patient, including psychological and spiritual needs, this job calls for great empathy and communication skills. Insurance companies hire LPNs to assist with claims reviews and processing cases. With the rise of telework, this is one of the few LPN careers that can be done mostly or entirely from home.
