What is the difference between an LVN and RN?
One difference is the schooling. LVN’s typically go to school for one year and RN’s typically go to school from 2-4 years depending on whether you are going for an Associates degree in Nursing or a Bachelor’s degree in nursing. LVN’s and RN’s also have different responsibilities. The LVN delivers care to the bedside, in hospital, clinics and home care. The RN delivers, plans, and manages care of clients in acute care and specialty areas. Salaries significantly increase in relationship to number of years of training.
