Skilled to Work: How to become a licensed practical nurse
SUMMARY: Licensed practical nurses play a crucial role in patient care at healthcare facilities. They manage basic patient care tasks such as checking vitals and helping patients with daily activities. LPNs work under the supervision of RNs and doctors, and the field is constantly growing with high demand. Despite the pressure of filling the nursing shortage, students in the practical nursing program are motivated to help others and make a difference. The program lasts one year and involves hands-on practice with real medical supplies. After graduation, students must pass a national exam to become licensed practical nurses with an average salary of over $59,000.
WTVA’s Michelle Martin gives us a look at what all goes into becoming an LPN in this week’s Skilled to Work.
SUMMARY: The Catholic Diocese of Jackson reflects on Pope Francis’ impactful legacy, highlighting his message of joy and simplicity. Mary Woodward, Chancellor of the Diocese, admired the dignity and simplicity of the Pope’s funeral, which exemplified his approach to life and leadership. Francis’ focus on marginalized communities and his efforts to build bridges rather than walls earned him respect across faiths, even among non-believers. His funeral was a significant moment, marked by images of the Pope at the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Jackson, with a red cloth symbolizing his connection to the Apostle Peter.

SUMMARY: Residents of West Jackson are frustrated by the long wait for street repairs. Mr. Johnson, a local, voiced his concerns over a growing pothole on Denver and Long Street, demanding full repairs instead of temporary patches. Despite some recent repair attempts, the hole persists due to ongoing water drainage issues from nearby apartments. City workers, including an employee named Isaac, explained that the water flow must be stopped before permanent fixes can occur. The area also suffers from illegal dumping, with tires being placed around the pothole as a makeshift barrier, further adding to residents’ frustrations.

SUMMARY: John Horn is projected to win the Jackson Democratic mayoral primary runoff, securing approximately 75% of the vote against incumbent Mayor Chak Lumbum’s 25%. Election analysts, Dr. Deandre Oie and Russ Latino, discuss the implications of Horn’s decisive victory, viewing it as a significant rejection of Lumumba’s administration amid ongoing challenges such as the water crisis and public safety concerns. Latino emphasizes Horn’s experience and ability to foster collaboration, whereas Oie notes Lumumba’s struggle to transition from an advocate to a politician. The discussion points to a desire for effective leadership and change in Jackson’s governance.
