In Florida, you can prepare for a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) license by completing a state-approved practical nursing program. These programs are offered by vocational schools, technical colleges, and community colleges. After completing the program and passing the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN), you can apply for a Florida LPN license through the Florida Board of Nursing.

DIFERENCIAS BÁSICAS ENTRE UNA ENFERMERA REGISTRADA Y UNA ENFERMERA PRÁCTICA EN EE-UU

A registered nurse (RN) and a licensed practical nurse (LPN) are both types of nurses, but there are some key differences between them:

Education: RNs have completed a bachelor’s degree in nursing or higher, while LPNs have completed a shorter, more practical training program.

Scope of Practice: RNs have a broader scope of practice and can perform a wider range of duties, including patient assessment, creating care plans, and administering medications. LPNs have a more limited scope of practice and typically perform tasks such as taking vital signs, administering medications, and assisting with daily activities.

Supervision: RNs can supervise LPNs, but LPNs cannot supervise RNs.

Licensure: Both RNs and LPNs are licensed by their state, but the requirements for licensure and the scope of practice vary by state.

Salary: RNs typically earn a higher salary than LPNs, due to their advanced education and broader scope of practice
