  • Licensed Practical Nurse
    HEALTH CAREER INFORMATION SHEETS Licensed Practical Nurse Professional Activities Licensed practical nurses (LPNs), or licensed vocational nurses (LVNs), care for people who are sick, injured, convalescent, or disabled under the direction of physicians and registered nurses. LPNs care for patients in many ways. Often, they provide basic bedside care. Many LPNs measure and record patients' vital signs such as height, weight, temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and respiration. They also prepare and give injections and enemas, monitor catheters, dress wounds, and give alcohol rubs and massages. As part of their work, LPNs collect samples for testing, perform routine laboratory tests, and record food and fluid intake and output. They clean and monitor medical equipment. Sometimes, they help physicians and registered nurses perform tests and procedures. Some LPNs help to deliver, care for, and feed infants. LPNs also monitor their patients and report adverse reactions to medications or treatments. LPNs gather information from patients, including their health history and how they are currently feeling. They may use this information to complete insurance forms, pre-authorizations, and referrals, and they share information with registered nurses and doctors to help determine the best course of care for a patient. LPNs often teach family members how to care for a relative or teach patients about good health habits. Most LPNs are generalists and will work in any area of healthcare. However, some work in a specialized setting, such as a nursing home, a doctor's office, or in home healthcare. LPNs in nursing care facilities help to evaluate residents' needs, develop care plans, and supervise the care provided by nursing aides.

  • Nurses, Archives, and the History of Canadian Health Care by KATHRYN Mcpherson
    Nurses, Archives, and the History of Canadian Health Care by KATHRYN McPHERSON Comme une nouvelle gCnCration de spCcialistes entreprend des recherches en histoire des sciences infirmibres en empruntant de nouvelles directions, les cen- tres d'archives et les archivistes dans ce domaine font face 21 des demandes nouvelles et 2 de nouveaux dCfis. Plusieurs collections occupent des petits cen- tres d'archives privCs qui rencontrent des problbmes de communicabilitt, de pro- tection des renseignements personnels, et de financement. Qu'ils travaillent dans de grands ou de petits dCp8ts d'archives, les historiens comme les archivistes rencontrent de sCrieuses lacunes au niveau des sources premibres dans le domaine de I'histoire des sciences infirmibres et doivent en m&metemps dtfinir au mieux la notion m&med'infirmiers(es) passCe et prCsente. Abstract As a new generation of scholars takes research in nursing history in some innova- tive directions, nursing archives and archivists face new demands and challenges. Many research collections are housed in small, private archives that face unique issues pertaining to access, privacy, and funding. Whether working with large or small archives, historians and archivists alike confront significant gaps in the primary resource base for nursing history, and must at the same time grapple with how best to define the category of nurse, past and present. Nursing history is experiencing a renaissance of sorts. Once a central preoccupation of nursing educators and scholars (as reflected in the many history textbooks authored by early-twentieth century nursing leaders such as Isabel Maitland Stewart'), the place of history in nursing education and research waned during the 1960s and 1970s as scholars turned their attention to clinical studies and the applied sciences.
