As an experienced LPN, what would you say to someone who is just now beginning a career in the nursing field?

"I encourage anyone beginning a career in nursing to remember to care for themselves as much as they do their patients. It is easy to get caught up in day-to-day work and forget that while we are making a living, we need to make a life."

The old saying 'Hindsight is 20/20' is something many people say is true. This question allows you to show how you have grown in the field of healthcare and what kind of wisdom you may pass on to someone who is coming into this career after you. Let your enthusiasm for your work as an LPN shine!

"I would say, be open to changes and unexpected discoveries. I started nursing school by thinking I may want to work primarily in the pediatrics field. However, I have had opportunities to work in many different specialty areas such as nursing homes and even advising on public health education and awareness programs."
