Licensed Practical Nurses provide health care services to patients and clients of all ages who may be acutely or chronically ill, typically with a focus on patients who are in a stable and/or predictable state of health. Licensed Practical Nurses may assess your health status, work with you to plan out and implement various health care services and strategies, and share information with you to promote a healthy lifestyle.  In hospitals and clinics, Licensed Practical Nurses work in many different departments and may work with patients before, during, and after surgeries and procedures, administering oxygen and/or medications, collecting blood and other types of samples, recording vital signs and care details, inserting and monitoring various care instruments, changing surgical dressings, and much more.  In public health and community care settings, Licensed Practical Nurses work in health care centres, residential facilities and in-home providing different services such as administering vaccinations, changing wound dressings, providing foot care, evaluating health plans, coordinating care with other health professionals, and more.
