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... 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

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-Nashuahttp://www.ncctc.eduNew Hampshire Tech Institute http://www.nhti.netSt. Joseph School of Practial Nursinghttp://www.stjosephhospital.comHealth Career Training Assoc.http://www.hcta.netSkill Med Services, Inc.http://www.skillmed.comHolden Health Career Training Centerhttp://www.holdenhealth.orgFirst Choice Training Institutehttp://www.firstchoiceschool.info
