Help Calm Me Down!

I just received my letter of acceptance into the LPN I am so happy
I am currently a Certified Nurse Assistance working on the med-surg floor also an over flow unite for the oncology.
I am scare and I do not know what to expect, the CNA course was so easy, like taking candy from a baby! I am a little worry about LPN course and I need some advice and if others can share their experience in school and in the field with me!
This may be a stupid question but how does CNA differ from LPN? Is it possible for me to do my clinicals where I currently work?


Thanks
The Will of God never takes you to
where the Grace of God will not protect you.

First, I want to say, Congratulations on becoming a CNA. I am also a CNA in training for my LPN. I didn't have to apply to a school becuase my high school offers the first year of the program free. I wish you luck in getting in the LPN program. The major difference is that LPN have more responsibilities over their pts, they are in charge of their CNA's, and they are actually involved in a lot more streile procedures such as inserting a foley catheter and doing a sterile wound change. Another difference is the pay. I don't really know the exact amt, but LPN's make a little bit more than CNA's. Yet another different is the LPN's can get certified in certain area such as EGK/ ECG, Phlebotomy, and IV therpay; whereas a CNA can't. Futhermore LPN's have a more autonomy than a CNA. I don't think that your school will allow you to train where you work, but they will let you know if you can. Most likely the school, will tell you which facitlites they would like you to train at. I wish you the very best of luck and I hope you get into your LPN program.
