Frequently asked questions
Licensed Practical Nurses in Chandler typically provide hands-on patient care, focusing on medical-surgical and acute care units. Unlike Registered Nurses, LPNs work under supervision but play a critical role in monitoring patient conditions and administering treatments, especially in community hospitals like those in Phoenix’s East Valley.
Beyond the mandatory AZ state RN license and BLS certification, completing the American Heart Association’s ACLS within six months of hire is highly regarded. These credentials ensure LPNs meet state standards and are prepared for emergency cardiovascular care common in Arizona’s acute care settings.
Licensed Practical Nurses often advance by gaining specialized certifications or pursuing additional education to become Registered Nurses. Arizona’s healthcare system, especially reputable employers, supports growth through education benefits and clinical skill development, fostering smoother transitions into advanced nursing roles.
