Simply put, LPN provides care and works as hard as an RN. But they are not "registered" to give medication as per doctor order. This is one of the main distinctions.
LPN stands for licensed practical nurses. They can work in nursing homes, hospitals, doctor's offices, home health, jails, group homes, etc.
There are various types of LPN nursing careers available. You can be a traveling LPN, and at home LPN, a ER LPN or even work in a doctors office as an LPN.
In most states, you will no longer see LPN's working in the hospitals. The states that do have LPN's in the hospital, the difference is the a LPN is not IV certified, whereas an LPN-B is IV certified.
In most states, Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are not authorized to call in prescription refills to the pharmacy. This task generally falls under the duties of a Registered Nurse (RN) or a healthcare provider such as a physician or nurse practitioner. LPNs often assist with medication administration but do not typically have the authority to order prescriptions.
