A licensed vocational nurse (LVN) provides hands-on nursing care under the direction of a registered nurse or physician. In most states outside Texas and California the same role is called a licensed practical nurse (LPN).
What LVNs do
- Take vital signs and observe and report changes in condition
- Give medications and treatments within their scope
- Provide wound, ostomy and tracheostomy care
- Support daily care and comfort
- Document care and communicate with the supervising RN
Where LVNs work
Home health and private duty, pediatric home care, schools (including one-to-one care for a student with medical needs), physician practices, long-term care and rehabilitation settings.
License
LVNs in Texas are licensed by the Texas Board of Nursing. Texas is a member of the Nurse Licensure Compact, so a multistate LPN/LVN license from a compact state is valid in Texas. BLS is standard; pediatric roles often ask for PALS or pediatric experience.
Pediatric and trach care
One-to-one pediatric roles, at home or at school, often involve a child with a tracheostomy or ventilator. Employers look for hands-on trach care: suctioning, stoma care, tube changes as ordered, and emergency response.
Questions
Is an LVN the same as an LPN?
Yes. Texas and California use the title licensed vocational nurse; most other states use licensed practical nurse. The role and training are equivalent.
What does a 1:1 school nurse LVN do?
Stays with one student during the school day to manage a medical need such as a tracheostomy, and works with teachers and school staff.
