Yes, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) typically works under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN) or a physician. The level of supervision can vary based on state regulations and the specific healthcare setting. While LPNs can perform many nursing tasks independently, they are generally required to report to and collaborate with a supervising healthcare professional to ensure patient safety and compliance with standards of care.
