Basically, there are two kinds of nurses.....registered (RN) and licensed practical (LPN). LPN's are mainly bedside, non-supervisory nurses. RN's are trained to be critical thinkers, leaders, supervisors and able to make judgment calls. RN's supervise LPNs.
LPNs receive at the most, 14 months of basic education revolving around bedside care and resulting in a certificate. RN's at minimum, have 2 years training in nursing education (in addition to some liberal arts courses such as algebra, chemistry, social sciences, psychology, etc.) and receive a college diploma, associate degree.
There are many "bridge" programs allowing LPNs to earn an associate's degree and become RNs. Credit is given for some of the LPN nursing classes taken.
Both LPNs and RNs take a state board exam, but they are not the same tests and the licenses obtained do not grant the same professional abilities.
