Arizona LPN Training
A career as an LPN is challenging and rewarding, and allowing individuals to fulfill their desire to help others and improve the health of the community. Becoming a registered nurse can take many years of training, but in about a year, a person can start working as a licensed practical nurse, providing much needed support to doctors and nurses.
Doctors and nurses are responsible for making major decisions about patient diagnoses and treatment, but they rely on the support of well-trained assistants like LPNs to help them carry out these treatment plans. Licensed practical nurses are there to provide patients with basic bedside care and to facilitate better communication between nurses and patients. For anyone who likes working with people and has always been interested in the health care industry, a career as an LPN could be a great match.
