LPN Academic Requirements

Having satisfied the (lawful) requirements will enable you to put your classroom learning into practice, however it will not make you an excellent nurse. As an LPN, because she functions directly with patients, she needs to be an authentic nurturing person. Sick and hurt people tend to be frequently puzzled and traumatized, thus you have to become emotionally stable to cope with it. The LPN is the very first line of care, and deals with all of this straight away.

So last but not least in the list of requirements I feel LPN should have is the ability to take the order and perform them explicitly as instructed. Many LPN and this is a very common problem and it is that LPN feels sometimes that she knows more than her immediate supervisor. While I am sure this is true, following orders as you are told exactly to the T is the sign of a superb nurse. You will go very far in the nursing field and not only as LPN.
