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 crux of the job is to provide basic nursing care to patients, while working under the supervision of a registered nurse or doctor. State regulations may put restrictions on what duties an LPN/LVN can perform or how much RN and physician supervision is required. Licensed practical nurse training typically covers a wide variety of topics, such as pediatric nursing and emergency care, so LPN/LVN graduates can be well-versed in all areas of their job.
