What’s the difference between a LPN and a RPN?
A LPN and a RPN are the same thing. They are called a RPN (a registered practical nurse) in parts of Canada, and in all the most states in the US they are called a LPN (licensed practical nurse). A LPN may also be called a nursing assistant or an orderly. In the states of Texas and California, a LPN is known as a LVN (or a licensed vocational nurse).
