Take your students on an exciting journey to success in LPN/LVN careers! Emphasizing leadership and clinical judgment skills, Success in Practical / Vocational Nursing: From Student to Leader, 10th Edition helps students navigate their way through nursing school, examinations, the job search, and success in professional practice. It describes the building blocks essential to a successful career, such as critical thinking, ethics, effective communication, and an understanding of the LPN’s role in the nursing process. Also useful are review questions preparing students for the NCLEX-PN® examination. Part of a complete curriculum solution for LPN/LVN programs, this text adds new insight into the ways self-empowerment can help students achieve positive outcomes in class and on the job.

    • Basic career information includes the value of the LPN, workforce trends, state regulations governing LPN practice, and insight into safe practice and NCLEX-PN® success.
    • Learning features in each chapter include objectives and key terms with phonetic pronunciations, with definitions in the text and in the glossary.
    • Storytelling narratives at the beginning of specific chapters use real-life scenarios to provide context for the topic.
    • Get Ready for the NCLEX-PN® Examination section at the end of each chapter includes key points, critical thinking scenarios, additional learning resources, and review questions with answers at the back of the book.
    • Test-taking and interview preparation tips prepare students to take the NCLEX-PN Examination and guide you through the job search, applications, and interviews — including electronic resumes.

    • Coordinated Care boxes develop leadership and management skills with hints, tools, and activities.
    • Keep in Mind boxes introduce the underlying theme of each chapter.
