Health Care Professionals. What is an LVN? An LVN is a licensed vocational nurse, also known as an LPN (licensed practical nurse). Becoming an LVN is one of the quickest ways to become a nurse, as there is not as extensive an amount of education required for most other types of nurses such as registered nurses (RN) or advanced practice nurses.
The term LVN is widely used in the United States. Other terminologies that are more or less the same as the job description of Licensed Vocational Nurses are Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), in selected states in the US; Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs); Enrolled Nurses; Division 2 Nurses; and State Enrolled Nurses.
