Licensed nurse (LPN or LVN)

Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) or licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) work under the direction of doctors and registered nurses (RNs). They provide nursing care that requires technical knowledge and skill but not the in-depth professional education and training of a registered nurse.

LPNs and LVNs may work in hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices and for home health agencies. Some LPNs and LVNs work as private-duty nurses, caring for one person at home or in the hospital.

Licensed nurses are required to complete an approved nursing program. Licensed nurses are required to take a licensing examination in the state in which they practice.

Clinical Review Board
All Healthwise education is reviewed by a team that includes physicians, nurses, advanced practitioners, registered dieticians, and other healthcare professionals.

In an effort to better meet the needs of our community our office hours will be changing as of September 2, 2024.

Monday-Thursday we will be offering appointments as early as 8am and as late as 4pm.

On Fridays we will be offering appointments as early as 8am and as late as 12:30pm.

We believe the addition of these earlier and later appointments during the week will better meet the needs of our patients.

Thank You!
