In this video we will review the difference between the roles and responsibilities of LPNs and RNs as well as the differences in education, certification, licensure, and degrees. What are the benefits of an LPN program? Who is an LPN program best suited for? How to become a registered Nurse? Are there differences in the study program for licensed pratical nurses? All of those questions will be answered in this video!

In Maryland, LPNs can be school nurses and work in doctor's offices as well as nursing homes... They cannot work in hospital settings at all anymore, unless it's a rehab that is an adjunct part of the hospital... They are also limited on what kinds of medications they can give... Although it is less expensive to become an LPN, the pay is much, much less and there is no room for career growth... Bachelor level nursing is the requirement now for most hospitals, which want magnet status...

I am an LPN in SC, we were taught triage, assessment, TX planning, I was in school 18 months and the RN counterparts went 3 months longer, deeper into supervisory and administrative work and that was it. I have known many LPN’s that have started the bridge LPN to RN and then drop because they had already learned the primary nursing applications, I KNOW that RN and LPN is to divide, the skill set the same, RN’s get paid more for more schooling. Hospitals can charge individuals more if their employees have more education, hence LPNs being pushed out of the hospitals it’s sad because nurses are nurses

LPNs can perform assessments depending on state and job description/requirements. This has been a huge argument among the nursing community and has caused some confusion. I've taken a screenshot of a job description on an application for an LPN position with ResCare in Lake City FL and it requires assessments of pts. It is just one example. I do appreciate this video though. The fact that she is acknowledging that LPNs are Nurses is unusual, because she appears to be an ARNP. Most do not want to call us nurses. But our respective state licensing board certainly does, because they let us know quickly that we are.

I'm 40, I don't have 4 years to give into a college. LPN is my way to go then.

In my opinion as an LPN of 7 years and currently in BSN school, I think LPN have the same exact knowledge as ADN 2 year RN school (we do the exact same prerequisites and our clinical roles are almost identical, and attend school for 18 months). BSN adds in more Leadership and Administrative roles and research papers. So far I'm not learning anything knew, but really hoping to. I found LPN school a lot more fast paced compared to BSN.

I’m a high school student rn, and there is a career campus for high schoolers that my school is affiliated with. I applied for the Health Academt program. If I get accepted, I get to start my junior year of high school (next year). After the first semester of it, I get to choose between the health technology pathway or the practical nursing pathway. If I choose the practical nursing pathway and pass the NCLEX-PN, I graduate high school as an LPN. If I do the career campus, I still graduate with a diploma from my high school and still get to do my high school’s extracurriculars.

She didn't explain the difference between the 2 at all. She only explained what a RN can do but Didn't explain what lpns can do.

That's not true, you can be and RN with an associates degree. Also my mom is an lpn and she cations everyone to be an rn of their going to be an lpn because they make significantly more money without a significantly more amount of schooling. She always said she'd go back to be an rn but she never had the time, ne me and her are gonna go to rn school together.

I wish you would have actually gone through what the actual difference is!

[sspirit]

My friend is a Diploma RN and went to school for 12 months. I'm a LPN and went to school for 18 months.

[tyeb]

RN also has the ADN route which is 2 years
Some LPN programs require preqs making them closer to 18 months. It depends on the program and state.

If you have questions regarding a loved one patient’s medicine, is it best to consult an RN or an LPN?
