Traditionally, a licensed practical nurse, or LPN, is charged with monitoring patients, updating health records, administering basic care, and ensuring patient comfort. However, new technology has given rise to new opportunities for LPNs in the remote job market. So, if you thought a career as an LPN wasn\u2019t possible because you want or need to work remotely, it\u2019s time to take another look. Let’s explore what remote LPN jobs involve, where to find them, and how to stand out as a candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything You Need to Know About Remote LPN Jobs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remote LPNs work closely with patients and caregivers under the supervision of a physician and\/or registered nurse. Their role is to ensure patients have access to the medical equipment and resources they need to optimize health outcomes. Flexible options for remote LPN jobs include positions completed in a home office or the field, such as patient homes, or a combination of both. Telehealth LPN jobs require using the telephone or video conference software to meet remotely with patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to a growing number of remote opportunities, the occupation of LPN is also growing at a steady pace. As baby boomers get older and the number of outpatient procedures increases, the projected growth of LPN jobs is 3%<\/a> over the next decade, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Become a Remote LPN<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To become an LPN, every state requires that you complete an approved educational program. These programs vary from one-year certificate programs to two-year associate’s degrees and are available in technical schools and community colleges. A complete list can be found on the NursingLicensure.org<\/a> website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following completion of the education program, candidates must sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN). More information on the exam and a list of state boards of nursing can be found on the National Council of State Boards of Nursing<\/a> website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides licensure, continuing education opportunities for LPNs include obtaining certifications in areas such as gerontology and intravenous (IV) therapy. Additional training is also obtainable through the National Association of Licensed Practical Nurses<\/a> (NALPN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
