week two in the search about nursing

For my research this week I went to Google and typed in licensed practical nurses. There was a lot of websites on LPN's so I just clicked on the first one. On the website there were different topics you could click on so I just clicked on the first one which was Nature of the work.

That part of the website talked about the jobs of nurses which are basically the same as what my aunt told me that she does at her job. I also read that in some states nurses are allowed to prescribe medicines to there patients which surprised me because I didn't think nurses were allowed to do that. I also learned that nurses sometimes have to work nights and on holidays. They also have to stand for long periods of time and move patients around.

After reading about the job of a nurse I thought I would look at a topics about nursing that I didn't know that much about which was the job outlook for LPN's. I read that the employment rate is going to increase for LPN's. This is good because that means I probably won't have that much trouble finding a job. They also need a lot of nurses to work in nursing homes which is where I would like to work
