There is a Kansas State Board of Nursing, IF they give out that information out to just ANYONE.
This will often depend upon the Nursing authority or Board of Nursing in your area but as a whole - registered nurses are allowed to work on their own depending upon the duties preformed whereas LPN/LVN's are required to work under a doctor, a registered nurse, or an advanced practice nurse.
