Mar 8, 2014 LPN requires your education to be assessed and deemed equivalent to that of a practical nurse as well as passing the NCLEX-PN. CNA requires passing the certified nursing assistant written & practical exam. Some states exempt nurses from written or practical exam for CNA. For specifics check the ND board of nursing website.
