Congrats on getting accepted into nursing. What are you going for Rn or Lpn? Im a nurse now! Very good career. I work 3 days and im paid for 5. It has its ups and down though
RPN what does the L stand for in Lpn?

Well here in the US. RN is Registered nurse Lpn is licensed practical nurse. RN is about a 2-4 year college program depending what state.. LPN is about 1 year.
oh ok so Lpn is the same as RPN. RPN here is 2 years and RN is 4 years, first half in college and second half in university.

Wow thats weird. In high school here you can take your lpn a graduate high school being and lpn. Then you can challenge nursing 1 and nursing 2 being an lpn if you pass them will only take you a year to be an rn. unless you want to be a RN - BSN which is bachelors in nursing that is like 4-5 years. Even get a masters degree in it i think thats 6 years. or a nurse practioner which is 8 they can prescribe drugs and all that.
