Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are the vital link between patients and their healthcare team. They bring structure to daily routines, comfort to patients, and relief to overworked staff. But what separates a “good” LPN from a truly great one? It’s not just about clinical knowledge—it’s about who they are as people and how they show up every day.

Here’s what to look for in a standout LPN candidate:

• Clinical Proficiency: A solid foundation in core nursing duties like administering medications, monitoring vitals, and documenting patient progress is non-negotiable.
• Effective Communication: Great LPNs communicate clearly with patients, families, and colleagues, creating a smoother care environment for everyone involved.
• Flexibility and Problem-Solving: Healthcare can be unpredictable. The best LPNs stay composed and adaptable, handling last-minute changes and complex situations with grace.
• Empathy and Respect: A compassionate LPN doesn’t just treat symptoms—they treat people. They know how to listen, encourage, and support with genuine care.
• Accountability and Dependability: From punctuality to follow-through, a reliable LPN builds trust and stability in your care team.

These qualities can’t always be measured on a résumé, which is why thoughtful recruitment and personalized screening are essential. The right LPN doesn’t just meet job requirements—they enhance your facility’s culture, improve patient experience, and support your team’s well-being.
