There is no better feeling than the joy of helping someone in need of your care and attention. That is why many people find themselves interested in entering the healthcare field. The great thing about healthcare is that there are countless opportunities and avenues for entry, one of which involves becoming a licensed practical nurse. If you feel interested in entering the field by way of becoming an LPN, there are some things you should know.
Shift Your Displays
Education Needed
Becoming a licensed practical nurse is a great way to start as an entry-level nurse and begin understanding the depth of the role, but how do you become one? To become an LPN, you must complete an accredited practical nursing program—you do not need a bachelor's degree. These programs usually take a year to complete and are available at most community colleges. You should expect to study subjects such as pharmacology and biology while gaining clinical experience in your program.
Role Requirements
As an LPN, you will have a variety of duties under the supervision of an RN or APRN. The essentials of your role will involve providing basic care to your patients. This care includes monitoring vital signs, conducting clinical assessments, and evaluating and assisting patients. Moreover, another significant aspect of your role will include IV insertion, which can be intimidating for many. It is incredibly important to learn how to properly administer an IV to avoid blown veins, which can lead to various complications.
Expect the Unexpected
One of the main things you should know before becoming an LPN is that you should expect the unexpected. Working in the healthcare field is as exciting as it is rewarding, but anything can happen during your shift. That is why you have to feel comfortable with constant change if you are serious about becoming an LPN. You will rarely find a workday that looks exactly like the one before.
Remarks by Ms. Rosemary A. DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, on the situation in the Middle East - Security Council, 9746th meeting.
-----------------------
The Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo told the Security Council that “the devastating conflict in Lebanon, coupled with intensified strikes in Syria and the raging violence in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, points to a region dangerously teetering on the brink of an all-out war” and said, “our collective inability to stop the violence and stem the bloodshed is damning.”
DiCarlo said, “Hizbullah and other non-state armed groups must stop firing rockets and missiles into Israel. We urge Israel to stop its bombardment of Lebanon and to withdraw its ground forces. The parties must seize the diplomatic options put on the table before them, not the weapons by their side.”
She urged the parties to commit to a return to a cessation of hostilities, and the full implementation of Security Council resolutions 1559 (2004) and 1701 (2006).
DiCarlo said, “the Lebanese state must have control over all weapons within its territory. We see what happens when it does not. The political impasse for the election of a president is approaching two years. At this time of crisis, I urge Lebanon’s political leaders to take resolute steps towards addressing the vacuum.”
She added, “the state sovereignty and territorial integrity of both Lebanon and Israel must be respected.”

United Nations Video: ASEAN: “a bridge-builder and a messenger for peace” - UN Chief’s Press Conference | United Nations
Press encounter by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, to reporters in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, that with "geopolitical tensions rising, climate chaos battering countries, and deepening inequalities ripping the social contract to shreds,” the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) “is a bridge-builder and a messenger for peace.”
---
Secretary-General António Guterres today (11 Oct) told reporters in Vientiane, the capital of Laos, that with "geopolitical tensions rising, climate chaos battering countries, and deepening inequalities ripping the social contract to shreds,” the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) “is a bridge-builder and a messenger for peace.”
That peace, Guterres said, “is more necessary than ever, when see the immense suffering of the people in Gaza, now extend to Lebanon, and not forgetting Ukraine, Sudan, Myanmar and many others.
The Secretary-General, who is attending the ASEAN-UN summit in Vientiane said, “our challenges are inter-connected, we all can and must be part of the solution,” and noted that ASEAN countries “have much to offer.”
On climate change, he said, “we need look no further than the devastating effects of Super Typhoon Yagi for a glimpse of the supercharged climate dangers we are facing. The coming year is crucial for climate action. Every country must produce a new national climate action plan – or NDC – that aligns with limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.”
Guterres commend ASEAN “for its ongoing constructive role in seeking to defuse tensions from the Korean peninsula to the South China Sea – and for doing so by putting the priority on dialogue and respect for international law.”
Nevertheless, he expressed concern “about the worsening political, humanitarian and human rights situation in Myanmar,” and said, “the people of Myanmar need peace. With one-third of the population needing humanitarian assistance, and almost 3.5 million people internally displaced, skyrocketing poverty and food insecurity are compounding the already dire reality on the ground.”
Asked about the peacekeepers from the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) that were wounded by Israeli fire in Lebanon, the Secretary-General said, “the two soldiers that were wounded were Indonesian. They belong to ASEAN. And obviously, I condemn the fact that there was shooting against the UN premises, wounding two peacekeepers, which is a violation of international humanitarian law. Peacekeepers must be protected by all parties of the conflict, and what has happened is obviously condemnable. There was naturally a reaction from many sides in solidarity with the peacekeepers that were wounded, and in telling Israel very clearly that this incident is intolerable, and it cannot be repeated.”
After the presser Guterres attended a presentation by local coffee growers supported by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime’s (UNODC) alternative crops project
During his visit, the Secretary-General met with President Thongloun Sisoulith and Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone, as well as the Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, Pham Minh Chinh.

International Video: Israel Hamas war: how Oct 7 changed the Middle East
The attack started early last October 7th - as thousands of Hamas fighters came across the border from Gaza and attacked civilians. It led to a protracted war in Gaza, and since then Israeli airstrikes have killed more than 40,000 Palestinians.
[Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe]
Tensions and killings have also increased in the occupied West Bank and to Israel's north, a constant exchange of fire with the militant group Hezbollah has, in recent weeks, escalated into conflict across the whole of Lebanon.
Israel is also fighting groups throughout the wider region - including militia in Syria and the Houthis in Yemen.
All of them backed by Iran - which has itself entered the battlefield directly with a second wave of missile attacks on Israel last week, and is now braced for possible Israeli strikes inside its territory.
