Licensed vocational nurse (LVN) is a job title specific to Texas and California. Licensed vocational nurses are known as licensed practical nurses (LPNs) in all other states. LVNs and LPNs work under the supervision of registered nurses (RNs) and physicians, providing basic bedside care to patients.
LVNs, however, must be supervised by Registered Nurses or doctors, and cannot do everything a RN Registered Nurse does. Preparing rooms for new patients, bathing or cleaning up patients are typical LVN jobs. The LVN is usually trained for a year to two years in analysis, functioning, and patient care.
