What the count covers

10,699 NPPES records list licensed vocational nurse (164X00000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in California: 27.5 per 100,000 residents against 5.8 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Fresno has 664 of them (6%).

A record is a registration a provider made and keeps up to date: it shows neither that the provider is licensed nor that they still practice there. The state's own license search is the check.
