Career Question of the Day
CQ#32: What is the career path of a nurse?
Quick Answer:
The healthcare industry is flourishing and America’s aging baby boomers are feeding the system with a nonstop supply of clients in need of the services of medical professionals. As such, becoming a certified licensed vocational nurse will most certainly provide you with job security well into the future, especially in California where most LVNs earn $25 per hour plus overtime. It’s a career path that is drawing new students from high school, college and other professions as more people are looking for a stable career.
A typical day involves reviewing patients’ orders; administering medications and providing prescribed treatments for patients; taking vital signs such as temperature, pulse and blood pressure; preparing and administering injections; applying dressings; monitoring perfusions and blood transfusions; collecting samples for testing; performing routine lab analyses; feeding patients and recording food and fluid intake; and keeping family members informed about the treatment and progress of the patient.
