As a remote LVN (licensed vocational nurse), you work from home and provide telehealth services and administrative support for patients. In this role, you may help coordinate patient care, search medical records, handle calls, perform data entry, manage a doctor's schedule of appointments, and otherwise assist your employer with remote nursing needs. The term licensed vocational nurse is normally used in Texas and California—it is functionally equivalent to a licensed practical nurse (LPN), which is the preferred name in most other areas. If you see a posting for an LVN, the company is probably located in Texas or California, but as a remote employee, you do not necessarily have to reside in either of those states.
