cebuana_nurse Specializes in OB, Peds, Med Surg and Geriatric Nsg. Nov 21, 2009 thanks for your response pedsnurze.What about other aspects such as interventions. thanks againI think that when it comes to interventions, the RN has a higher responsibility than the LPN. I guess with content, we are pretty much the same but with interventions, each has its own thing to do. There are certain procedures that the LPN cannot perform but the books say it varies per state's hospital protocols.Good Luck on the upcoming graduation! =D 0 Likes

Nov 26, 2009 thank you cebuana_nurse for the response. the reason why i was asking is because my friend just gave me an nclex-rn review book and i am in lpn school. i just wanted to see if it even made sense to even study from an nclex-rn book.thanks again everyone:redbeathenina, spn:heartbeat31 more days to go... yaaay me 0 Likes

Ace587RN, RN Specializes in ED. Nov 27, 2009 find an NCLEX-PN book. the NCLEX-RN differs because it will have questions such as assessment that are beyond the scope of a practice of an LPN 0 Likes
