Program directors or coordinators may use licensed vocational nurses as faculty in VN programs using the following criteria: • Licensed vocational nurses work under the supervision of a registered nurse. • Didactic courses taught by licensed vocational nurses are limited to Fundamentals and Vocational Nursing Skills. • Licensed vocational nurses teaching didactic courses other than Fundamentals and Vocational Nursing Skills must have the documented academic credentials to do so. • Licensed vocational nurses may act as clinical supervisors for student clinical rotations. Evidence of registered nurse supervision must be documented.
