you may need to get your transcripts changed to English and if looking at LPN then the BON can decide whether you meet their requirements. I guess if looking at 2 years training it could be LPN but all depends on transcripts and if you apply for LPN with BON then they will need to recieve transcripts translated into English

CNA = Certified nursing aide where as LVN and LPN are licensed nurses, so do have a scope to work within set by the BON but overall RN is responsible.

Undersköterska is the same as CNA (certified nursing assistant)
