The LSU Shreveport Practical Nursing program prepares students to become Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) who provide quality professional nursing care to clients in hospitals, physician’s offices and clinics, long-term care facilities or wherever professional nursing services are required. LPNs are directly involved in providing basic patient care and ensuring that patients are comfortable and well cared for. There will be times when an LPN administers certain medications and performs other duties such as taking blood pressure, inserting catheters and recording other vital signs. Students work under the direction of a licensed physician, dentist, ophthalmologist, psychologist, or registered nurse.
