  3. About the Verve College of Nursing Without the presence of licensed practical nurses (LPNs), medical facilities can't deliver basic nursing care to patients. This is because LPNs play a significant role in the nursing sector. They not only contribute to delivering the basic care to patients but assist other registered nurses, health care professionals and doctors to fulfill their primary responsibilities.

  4. Even thoughLPNs are an indispensable part of the healthcare industry, they face several challenges in the career context or when they opt for pursuing certain LPN programs.

  5. Here are 5 Challenges faced by students to become a licensed practical nurse:

  6. FINANCIAL ISSUES Mostly, students who want to become a licensed practical nurse (LPN) can not live their dream in reality because of the financial issue. It becomes quite challenging for them or their family to pay a hefty amount of course fees in a nursing school. FAMILY SUPPORT Along with not getting financial support, students also struggle with making their parents/guardians agree for pursuing the LPN course. This is because of their expectations from their children to handle other responsibilities in the family.

  7. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE Sometimes students are not familiar with the scholarship and financial aid programs. They find it hard to apply for financial aid provided by several institutions to the students who want to pursue LPN courses and serve the community. LIMITED RESPONSIBILITIES Most often, students leave their LPN courses in the middle as they are restricted with limited sponsibilities. In some countries, they provide basic nursing care to patients and their duties are limited to feeding and grooming patients. They not even assess patients or give them prescribed medications, they have to do the same under the supervision of registered nurses.

  8. ODD WORKING HOURS Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) work in odd hours to contribute inpatient care in almost all healthcare facilities. Although they work on weekends and holidays to assist other registered nurses and doctors.

  9. Path to Further Studies Besides, It is required to have effective communication for interacting with patients, physicians, fellow nurses and other members of the healthcare facilities. Students who lack good communication, soft skills and interpersonal skills, usually find communication as one of the major challenges to pursue LPN programs.
