In terms of the workplace, if you look at the job listings at my state's employment department, you will find that RN vacancies outnumber LVN vacancies consistently at a rate of 12 to 1. It has been like this for the 15 or so years that I've looked at the data.

This means that your area is in need of RNs over LPNs at a 12:1 ratio.

the paycheck haha.
NO on a more serious note. I think that RN can do more administrative work than LPN's. Like ADON, DON, they have the education to specialize in a pacticular field
