What the count covers

15 NPPES records list licensed vocational nurse (164X00000X) as their primary taxonomy with a practice address in Kentucky: 0.3 per 100,000 residents against 5.8 nationally (50 states and D.C.). Louisville has 4 of them (27%).

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.
