Notwithstanding any other provision of law, requiring the practice of practical nursing to be performed under the direction of an advanced practice registered nurse, registered nurse, licensed physician, or licensed dentist, a licensed practical nurse may provide nursing care authorized for licensed practical nurses under this chapter without the on-site supervision of an advanced practice registered nurse, registered nurse, licensed physician, or licensed dentist in:
(1) home or residential settings, if a registered nurse has approved the plan of care;
(2) public schools and in institutions and facilities of the Department of Juvenile Justice and Department of Corrections, if the licensed practical nurse follows the policies, procedures, and guidelines of the employing entity and if a registered nurse is available on call by telecommunications.
