Positions are classified in this series when the primary responsibility is for nursing care which
requires less than full professional nursing education but requires the knowledges and skills
represented by licensure as a licensed practical (vocational) nurse. Such positions typically
involve an understanding of the requirements for a patient care plan, knowledge and skill in the
preparation and administration of medications, knowledge of physical and emotional reactions to
a variety of treatment procedures and skill in maintaining effective work relationships with
facility staff, patients and the members of the treatment or nursing care team in the direct service
to patients.
Positions in this series are referred to as practical nurses, in some areas as vocational nurses, and
are prepared to function under the direction and supervision of a professional nurse and/or
doctor. As member of the health care team, they give nursing care to patients, and generally are
considered next in skill level to the professional nurse.
