These individuals usually have twelve months to two years of training in anatomy and physiology, medications, and practical patient care. They must pass state or national boards (such as [NCLEX-PN] in the U.S.) and renew their [license] periodically.

LPNs can perform simple as well as complex medical procedures, but must operate under the supervision of either a professional Registered Nurse (RN) or a physician. They can administer most medications (usually with the exception of IV push medications), perform measurements (blood pressure, temperature, etc), record-keeping, help with patient-care planning, surgery, first aid, CPR, sterile and isolation procedure and basic care.

LPNs are often found working under the supervision of physicians in clinics. In long term care facilities, they sometimes supervise nursing assistants and orderlies.

The United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that there are about 700,000 (1) persons employed as licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses in the U.S.

LPNs require usually a high school diploma.
