This definition only applies to how the meat was processed after the cattle were harvested and does not apply to how the animals were raised. Marketers also have been applying the term ânaturalâ to beef labels based on how the animals were raised.
The biggest immediate difference between the LPN versus RN career path is the degree youâll earn. RNs earn a professional nursing degree, while LPNs earn a practical nursing degree. A professional nursing degree consists of more courses, so it takes more time to complete than a practical nursing degree.
The short version is this: LPNs and LVNs are, for all intents and purposes, different titles for the same job. They both work under RNs and doctors. LPN and LVN programs prepare you to take the NCLEX-PN. Passing the NCLEX-PN is required for licensure of both LPNs and LVNs. The biggest difference between a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) and a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) is actually the name. The term LVN is used in California and Texas, while LPN is used throughout the rest of the United States. So the difference in title really just depends on where you are.
