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: At Fertile Ground Beer Company, the magic of brewing beer happens in a three vessel brew system where it takes 68 hours to brew one batch. The fermentation tanks turn the wort into beer by adding yeast, which converts it into alcohol. Each tank holds one type of beer at a time, which is kegged or canned before being sold. The water used in brewing is filtered for quality, and the process involves a dedicated team who work early mornings. The company's flagship beer is a pilsner, and they are celebrating their second year in Jackson with new beers and food trucks at an upcoming event.
