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 nurses (LPNs) and licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) are the same thing. Most states use the term LPN, while others use LVN. The LPN/LVN education is the shortest of the nursing programs. Training can last anywhere between a year or two, depending on the school, and focuses on the hands-on care that the LPNs/LVNs will be giving the patients.
