Refer to the Role of the Licensed Practical Nurse in Nasogastric Tube Insertion position statement. It is within the scope of practice of the licensed practical nurse to insert and to discontinue a nasogastric tube. The board does not mandate certification as a prerequisite for the licensed practical nurse to perform this procedure.
