Practical nurses are also advocates, working with patients to promote and maintain good health. To serve in this influential role, students study the foundations of illness and disease throughout the lifespan, concepts of preventative health, and physical and mental wellness.
Today, practical nurses work in hundreds of different venues, such as hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation facilities, doctor's offices and schools.
