Lpn Specialties

[Riggleman77]

I was just wondering if there are any specialty areas an Lpn can go into after finishing school

Like what? I do medically complex pediatrics. Others do geriatrics, acute rehab, hospice, wound care, corrections....

There's long-term care, hospice, ambulatory care, home health, private duty, camp nursing, school nursing, wound care nursing, correctional nursing, psychiatric nursing, developmental disabilities nursing, chronic dialysis, med/surg, ortho, physical rehab, urgent care, aesthetic/spa nursing, and a whole myriad of specialties in which LPNs can work.

LPNs are trained as generalists here in the U.S.; therefore, they can be trained to work in virtually any specialty as long as the scope of practice permits.

Only thing I saw missed was palliative. Commuter hit the list :)
