Practical Nursing refers to the work of a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), who delivers hands-on patient care under the supervision of registered nurses and physicians in hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics. Daily tasks include direct patient care, vital signs monitoring, and medication administration, alongside wound care for patients recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions.
