As a homecare LPN, your job is to provide medical care and assist your patient with daily tasks in their home. In this role, you may administer medication, monitor vital signs, provide companionship, lift heavy items, and make good judgments about contacting other care providers. Homecare LPNs rarely live with patients, but you may occasionally be asked to stay overtime or overnight as needed to provide continuity of care. You may witness extremely stressful situations in this role, such as being the only caregiver present when a patient has a medical emergency, so the ability to remain calm and professional in high-pressure situations is essential to your success in this role.
