LNP role vs RN role

Published

Anyone know of a good website that specifies what an LPN vs RN can do? What can be delegated to an LPN?

I Googled this and it varies from state to state. Try Googling your specific state for a clear answer. I put in "LPN scope of practice"

It varies A LOT by state. Check out your states "nurse practice act" It deliniates everything an LPN can and can't do. The differences by state are pretty vast. For example, in my state other than ABG's, writing careplans, and the initial assessment LPN's do the same job as RN's, but I know in other states most hospitals won't even hire LPN's and their skills are limited.

Thanks for the input! A more narrowed search helped. Does anyone know of a good website that has practice questions regarding LPN vs RN vs nursing assistant roles and scope of questions, particularly NCLEX questions?

Thanks, wsg :nurse:
