Depends on the state and facility, but a an LPN in LTC I've done...

Wound care

Dressing changes

Finger Sticks

G-tube care (lavage, feedings, dsg. changes, etc)

Trach care (suctioning, dsg changes, etc)

Contacted EMS/911 when a Pt was unresponsive

Cared for a seizing pt

Advocated for the Pt (either to have an increase in pain meds, decrease in anti-anxiety meds, etc)

To be honest, i don't know how hard an LPN course is--I tested out after completing most of my BSN.

Why would people tell you that you can never do it? People do it all the time, otherwise only geniuses would be LPNs, and that's not the case. Talk to a counselor at the school you're looking into applying to.

There is also a basic entrance exam for LPN-I believe it's basic math and comprehension.

thank you have tAKEN THE STATE TEST OF LPN

I didn't find it very hard. there were questions about medications, positioning, etc. As long as you study you should be fine
