Do LPNs use stethoscopes?

It might sound like a stupid question, but whenever I see a video on youtube about an LPN they aren't wearing one; at least, not like RNs. Just wondering thats all...

I'm just trying to where lpns fit into the healthcare system. I respect all of the positions in Heathcare but I feel like I am getting conflicting views of what an Lpn does and can do vs an rn. I want to go back to school and take nursing but I font want to feel limited in any way. I want to help ppl provide for my family, and feel confident in my choice to be an lpn or rn. I am in my early thirties, and will be paying for school out of my own pocket. I want to feel like I am making the right choice instead of a costly mistake.

I think it would help if you posted your questions and/or do some searching in the Nursing in Canada forum. The types of financial aid that may be available, educational requirements and scope of practice are not the same for the two countries or even from one province to another, from what I understand. Good luck!
