Yes, a certified Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) can work as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), as their training and certification exceed the requirements for CNA roles. However, they must still adhere to any specific state regulations regarding dual roles. While LPNs can perform CNA duties, they may be limited in their scope of practice based on the employer's policies and the state’s nursing regulations.
