Credentials · a license
Licensed practical or vocational nurse (LPN/LVN)
A practical nursing license. What it allows is set by the state.
What it is
LPN (licensed practical nurse) and LVN (licensed vocational nurse) are names for practical nursing licenses. Nursys lists them together under practical nurse (PN).
Boards of nursing set what practical nurses may do, and some have addressed IV therapy and aesthetic procedures directly. Those rules are on the state pages.
What it doesn’t guarantee
- That this treatment is within an LPN or LVN license in this state
- Who supervises them, and whether that person is on site
- Training in aesthetic treatments specifically
How to check it
- Search Nursys QuickConfirm, if the state’s board takes part, or the state board of nursing.
- Ask who supervises them today, and who ordered the treatment.
- Look up those licenses too.

National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN)
Nurse license and discipline status, from the boards of nursing that take part.
Not every board takes part. If a nurse doesn’t appear, search the state board of nursing before drawing any conclusion.
Verified Sep 14, 2026. Opened nursys.com and its QuickConfirm page; both are run by NCSBN.
