Practical Nursing Program in Salem
Have you been searching for LPN classes in Salem, Oregon? Your search is over. Institute of Technology has a great Practical Nursing program at our Salem nursing school. Our LPN classes teach you how to provide care and assist physicians in the diagnostic assessment of patients. Licensed practical nurses play a vital role as members of healthcare teams.
Our Practical Nursing training places emphasis on:
- The nursing process
- Universal precautions
- Anatomy and physiology
- Disease process
- Pharmacological approach to treating patients
- The different stages of life and care
In addition, students engage in hands-on training involving electrocardiograms, laboratory tests, venipuncture, infusion therapy, and many specialized care procedures. This program equips graduates with the skills and knowledge necessary to meet the requirements of the Oregon State Board of Nursing to participate in the NCLEX-PN exam, leading to licensure as a practical nurse.
Once you become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), you can pursue additional training to specialize in an area such as gerontology and pharmacology. Your duties as an LPN can vary depending on whether you work in a hospital, a nursing home, or in-home healthcare. Your lab assistant and phlebotomy training are more valued in a hospital. In a nursing home, you may be working with patients to develop care plans and supervise nursing aides. In home healthcare, more household duties may be required, along with teaching family members some of the more simple tasks you learned in practical nursing school.
