Registered Nurses (RNs) at Dignity Health typically handle more complex patient assessments and care planning, requiring an RN license. Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) perform routine patient care tasks under supervision. Both roles are essential in healthcare settings, but RNs generally have a broader scope of practice and higher responsibilities.
