LPN, or Licensed Practical Nurse....in some states it's called an LVN, or Licensed Vocational Nurse. The course (depending on the state and curriculum) is usually from 1 year to 1 1/2 years. Many LPNs go back to college and get their RN (Registered Nurse). You'll be paid higher as an RN than an LPN. Normally LPNs pass medications in hospitals and nursing homes and assist or supervise the CNAs (certified nurse's aides) and orderlies. The RNs supervise the shift. I'm not an LPN, so this is about all the info I can give you about it. Best of luck to you.......
