Reading the posts I find it interesting it took me 1.5 Years to get my RPN (LPN). They have passed here in ONtario that a RN has to be a 4 year bScN course. To Be a Registered Practical Nurse (LPN)
It has to be a 2 year diploma course from a college. no inbetween with the complex care needed now a day. The RPN course will be the old RN 2 year course as the new RN's have to have a 4 year University degree. I find the difference between states what a LPN can do shocking. In my job I am the only nurse to 150+ people in a retirement home with 5 aides I do meds and have all responsibilities Doctors orders critical thinking assessments etc.
Rns in the US seen to have all the same training why the differece? RN's And LPNS should have universal training.
