Licensed Practical Nursing is a scientific process founded on a body of knowledge. Nursing is a learned profession based on an understanding of the human condition across the lifespan, and the relationship of the patient with others and within the environment. It is an art dedicated to the caring of others and the work of healing. Nursing is a dynamic discipline that is continually changing and evolving to include updated knowledge, technologies, and advances in patient care. What is unique for nurses is the configuration and breadth of nursing practice, both in independent aspects of practice and the collaboration with other authorized health care providers. May manages telephone encounters in the clinic reflective of presenting situation, action taken, understanding and intended response of the caller.
Ambulatory care nursing is a unique realm of nursing practice. It is characterized by efficient, focused care of patients.

The LPN assists in the care, treatment and observation of well, ill, and injured individuals. Health promotion and maintenance, assisting with health counseling and teaching are key supportive activities. Under the direction of a licensed physician, PA or RN, the LPN may apply procedures that protect life and health, i.e. medication administration and treatments consistent with the scope of practice. It is an art dedicated to the caring of others and the work of healing. Ambulatory care nursing is a specialty practice area that is characterized by dealing with situations and issues that are not always predictable.
