A clinic LPN, or licensed practical nurse, is primarily responsible for providing nursing care to patients in a clinic. LPNs that work in an outpatient facility will administer care to patients of all ages, gender, and ailments. LPNs that work in a specialty clinic, such as infant care or cancer treatment, will primarily perform tasks specific to those medical specialties. An LPN typically reports to a registered nurse or doctor who oversees patient care. Job duties can include taking vitals, administering medications, giving shots, collecting specimens, and scheduling appointments.
