Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) care for the sick, injured, convalescent and disabled under the direction of licensed physicians, dentists, podiatrists, optometrists or registered nurses. They work directly with patients to provide care such as taking vital signs, administering medications (where state law allows), applying dressings, collecting blood and fluid samples for laboratory testing, observing and recording the impact of treatments, and providing physical and emotional support.

Registered nurses (RNs) provide direct care to patients by working with physicians to diagnose and treat disease; observing, assessing and recording symptoms and progress; and assisting in convalescence and rehabilitation. They also work with families and communities to instruct in proper patient care, promote health and wellness, prevent disease, and cope with illness.

Proper treatment of healthcare patients always depends on an accurate diagnosis. Now more than ever, physicians rely on laboratory test results to make these diagnoses and monitor the results of their therapies. While clinical laboratory personnel have minimal patient contact, they play a crucial role on the health care team by examining and analyzing body fluids, tissues and cells in order to detect and diagnose disease. They perform complex chemical, biological, hematological, immunologic, microscopic, and bacteriological tests using state-of-the-art computerized instrumentation and microscopes. They may work in several areas of the clinical laboratory or specialize in just one.
