The primary role of the Vocational Nurse (LVN) is to provide nursing care to clients who are experiencing common health problems with predictable outcomes. With continuing education and experience, the LVN might provide care for clients having more complex health problems. LVNs practice under the supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN) or physician and are usually hired as staff nurses in hospitals. However, in long-term care, many LVNs hold management positions such as Assistant Director of Nursing, Nurse Educator, or Clinical Supervisor. Many LVNs are employed in home health agencies, clinics or physician offices and some practice as faculty in LVN training programs.
