As a practical nurse your duties will include interacting with patients and their families. You will be expected to gather information such as patient health history, current health issues or complaints, assess patient needs, and help with developing individual plans to better mange their disease and prevent further illness. Practical nurses may find themselves practicing in various areas including, but not limited to physician offices, hospitals, surgery centers, long term care facilities, home health, and community health centers. Regardless of where you are working, as an LPN you will generally practice under the direct supervision of an RN or another licensed practitioner. If you are just starting out in the field of health care, another job to consider is that of a medical assistant. Explore medical assistant programs in Nebraska.
