A CNA can only provide activities of daily living for the client and take vital signs lifting and transporting a client, and chart info on the patients vital signs and visible condion.
A LPN can do all of what the CNA does but their scope of practice is more elevated than the CNA's because they can administer medication and care for wounds with the permission of a RN or a doctor.
I do not think you need to have your license as a CNA to get your license as a LPN.
the title says it all certified nurses aid would help a lisence practical nurse and a registered nurse would be the boss of both under the doctor
what are the beingging coruses are required before becoming an LPN
An LPN requires more schooling since you are the nurse. The CNA is just the nurses assistant. Both options are needed, but I would say that LPNs are going to be more in demand, since most people would rather take the shorter route and not go through all of the schooling.
yes,but sometimes the lpn will do it depends on where you work
Yes. they are going to use CNA's and RN's from now on.
Depending on the type of license they have. e.g. RN, LPN, CNA, HHA etc
No, there are no free CNA classes available at Salem State College. However there is a full nursing program complete with LPN to MSN degrees.
You could get an LVN or LPN if your state offers it. Try the red cross sometimes they have classes.
No, an RN (Registered Nurse) is a higher level than an LPN. The scale goes CNA (Certified Nurses Aid), LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse), RN (Registered Nurse), APRN (Advanced Practice RN-- requires and advanced degree such as a PhD in nursing).
whats the differents between cna1 an cna2
Whether your credits transfer depends on the new school and its review of your previous coursework. This site has info about LPN training in Tennessee: http://www.nursegroups.com/LPN-Programs/Tennessee/Nashville
