When you are doing private duty, is it acceptable to take a nap when the patient is sleeping if their health allows for it? I love the idea of working nights but I know that I will be fighting sleep if I don't have enough physical actvity to keep me ...

I think whether or not being an LPN is a good career move depends on what you want to do with your career. I also think this can be region specific. As far as my state, Maryland, goes. We have a high employment rate so there's kind of enough room ...
