Best use of your time would have been to conduct an internet search on this topic:
job description + Registered Nurse
job description + Licensed Praactical/Vocational Nurse
or to have consulted with your schools librarian
Good search engines:
www.google.com
www.yahoo.com
www.askjeeves.com
www.dogpile.com

I think that your teachers probably would like you to find the information for this assignment from sources that you can reference. If you use answers that we give that will just be hearsay and can only be referenced as personal communication which is not very scholarly. The other posters have given you some good places to look for this information. Have your instructors given you any suggestions? Is your textbook helpful at all?
Good luck and let us know how it goes if you have time!
