Hi... let see yes MD stands for Medical Doctor and LPN is Licensed Practical Nurse which is the same as LVN which stands for Licensed Vocational Nurse. In some states LPN is used and in others LVN is used. LPN/LVN is a one year certificate program in a community or vocational college. Then there are 2 year ADN (associate degree)RN programs from a community college and the 4 year BSN (bachelor degree)from a University, then of course an MSN (Masters degree). In the US you must have a MSN to become a ARNP which is a Advanced Registered Nurse Practioner. Hope that helps & nice to meet you : ) Katfish

LPN is comparable to the UK's EN (Enrolled Nurse)
