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.
Licensed Practical Nurse programs are often grouped in a nursing program that offers both LPN and RN degrees. All students, regardless if they are seeking the LPN or RN designation, obtain the same first-year nursing curriculum. After one year, and successfully meeting education requirements, students may take the LPN nursing exam, or choose to continue on a second year to complete the registered nurse program. The LPN program offers a wider look into the human lifespan and care through the ages than many medical assistant programs do.
