Entry Level Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) both provide essential patient care but differ in training, responsibilities, and licensing. LPNs have completed a state-approved program and hold a license, allowing them to perform more advanced tasks like administering medications. CNAs typically complete shorter certification programs and focus on basic patient care. Both roles are vital in healthcare settings, but LPNs generally have a broader scope of practice and higher earning potential.
