LPN Directory

LPNs complete a shorter practical-nursing program (12–18 months) and pass the NCLEX-PN. RNs hold an ADN or BSN, pass the NCLEX-RN, and have a broader scope of practice. LPNs practice under RN, NP, or physician supervision.

An LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) — called an LVN (Licensed Vocational Nurse) in Texas and California — provides bedside, long-term, and home care under the supervision of an RN, NP, or physician after completing a 12–18 month program and the NCLEX-PN.
Search the LPN directory by city, ZIP, or state, then filter by setting — home care, assisted living, skilled nursing, or clinic.
Yes. LPNs are widely used in home health, private duty, and assisted living settings. State scope of practice rules define exactly which tasks they can perform independently.
Look up the LPN with the issuing state board of nursing. Compact-state LPNs can also be verified through Nursys QuickConfirm.
