A typical day for an LPN at Duke involves providing direct patient care—such as monitoring vital signs, administering medications, assisting with activities of daily living, and supporting patient education—under the supervision of RNs and physicians. LPNs frequently collaborate with nurses, doctors, and other allied health professionals to develop and implement care plans and ensure continuity of care. Regular communication and teamwork are essential, as LPNs participate in patient rounds, coordinate with support staff, and may assist in specialized clinics or units depending on their assignment. This collaborative structure not only supports high-quality patient outcomes but also fosters a positive, engaging work environment for LPNs.
