The difference: LPN Vs. RN

Sep 25, 200520 yr

What is the difference of LPN and RN?

What is the difference in required training?

I looked into finding an LPN program and i can't find one.... all I can find is nursing..

I live in New Hampshire- therefore any programs outside of NH or relatively close in Maine or Mass, would be highly useless... :coollook:

I am thinking of taking the nursing program at the school i graduated with my AS in Travel and Tourism.. but I dont know if I can handle the COST, the WORK.. and I don't feel very smarty smarty

Please give a newbie some help

I think you meant Registered Nursing?

The difference between an RN & an LPN varies state to state, and even by facilities. If you check out your BON website, they will be able to give you detailed information as what you can & cannot do as an LPN (Scope of Practice).

Most Boards of Nursing will have a list of accredited nursing programs on their website. Yours ( http://www.nh.gov/nursing ) does as well.

It lists 7 programs:

New Hampshire Tech College Claremont-Nashua
