What is an LPN Tech?

LPN Techs, or Licensed Practical Nurse Technicians, are healthcare professionals who combine the clinical duties of a licensed practical nurse (LPN) with specialized technical skills, often in areas like phlebotomy, EKG, or surgical assistance. They work under the supervision of registered nurses or physicians in various healthcare settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities. LPN Techs are responsible for monitoring patients, administering basic care, and assisting with diagnostic procedures. Their role bridges the gap between standard nursing care and more advanced technical procedures, making them valuable members of the healthcare team.
