1. LPN versus CMA

   elderlyone replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in LPN/LVN

   You are correct, at least in rural MN. The pay difference is due to the scope of an LPNs practice. We are not considered nurses, LPN is only the first step, it is expected that you go on and complete your education. You are more useful in a clinic...

2. What is the difference in RN and LPN?

   elderlyone replied to Regina66's topic in General Students

   The biggest difference is respect. According to the ANA, facilities, videos, and the definition of "nursing shortage", we are not nurses, we are only licensed personel, and the expectation here is that you will go on to become a nurse.
