Role of the Licensed Practical/Vocation Nurse

May 1, 2021

The LPN/LVN plays a vital role in the collaborative care of the patient. The role of the LPN/LVN in the nursing process may vary from state to state and with different institutions. All practical and vocational student nurses should be knowledgeable regarding their own state’s practice. In many states, the registered nurse is responsible for the coordination of care, initiation of the nursing care plan, and evaluation of patient outcomes with the assistance of the LPN/LVN. The LPN/LVN is frequently responsible for providing direct bedside nursing care. This direct care position allows the LPN/LVN to closely observe, prioritize, intervene, and evaluate the care provided to and for the patient. See Box 5-2 for a summary of the role of the LPN/LVN in the nursing process.
