Description
A healthcare provider who gives basic nursing care under the supervision of registered nurses or doctors. Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) help with daily tasks such as taking vital signs, giving medications, changing dressings, assisting with bathing, and monitoring patients’ comfort. They care for people with chronic illnesses, after surgery, or those needing ongoing support, and are often found in hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics. Patients can expect LVNs to provide hands-on care, answer questions about daily health needs, and report any changes to other healthcare team members.
