Licensed vocational nurses provide basic bedside patient care under the direction of physicians and registered nurses. Training programs last about a year, offered at community colleges, vocation schools, and technical colleges. An individual must pass the NCLEX-PN, which is a state licensing examination, required to work as a licensed vocational nurse. License vocational nurses oversee the bedside care provided by nursing assistants. Licensed vocational nurses are also known as registered practical nurse in Ontario, as enrolled nurses in Australia, and as state enrolled nurses in the United Kingdom.
