Both Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs) can insert tubes, but the specific scope of practice may vary by state regulations and facility policies. Generally, RNs have a broader scope of practice and may perform more complex procedures. LPNs can insert certain types of tubes under the supervision of an RN or physician, depending on their training and the regulations in their area. Always consult local laws and institutional guidelines for precise information.
