LPN / LVN
A practical-nursing study route through foundations, bedside care, medications, and common clinical settings.
Start with the pathway
Practical nursing connects foundational assessment with consistent bedside care
LPN and LVN titles depend on the jurisdiction. Programs prepare students for practical or vocational nursing, but admission rules, licensure eligibility, supervision, and permitted duties vary by state and employer.
Use this page to organize Nurse Arcade subjects. Always verify a program through its current catalog and your board of nursing.
What to expect
Education
State-approved programs commonly combine nursing fundamentals, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, skills practice, and supervised clinical experience.
Licensure
Graduates follow their jurisdiction’s eligibility process and licensure examination requirements. Confirm the current process with the board of nursing.
Practice
Common work includes monitoring, basic care, documentation, communication, treatments, and medication-related responsibilities permitted by local scope and policy.
Next steps
LPN/LVN-to-RN and other bridge routes exist, but prerequisites, transfer credit, residency, and sequencing vary by school.

Nurse Arcade supports learning; it does not define an individual nurse’s legal scope. Use current state law, board guidance, employer policy, orders, supervision requirements, and patient-specific clinical direction.
