An entry-level RN cares for patients in a variety of settings, mostly clinical. Your responsibilities may include assessment of patient conditions, creation and execution of patient-specific care plans, consultation with physicians and specialists, and communicating with patients and their families regarding treatment options and medication. With certification as an RN, entry-level nurses develop patient care skills while carrying out regular duties such as placing IVs, administering treatments and medications, documenting patient information, and other clinical tasks.

| Aspect | Entry Level Rn | Licensed Practical Nurse |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), RN license | Diploma or Certificate in Practical Nursing, LPN license |
| Work Environment | Hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, outpatient settings | Long-term care, nursing homes, clinics, hospitals (supervised roles) |
| Job Responsibilities | Assessments, care planning, administering medications, patient education | Basic patient care, vital signs, assisting with activities of daily living |
Entry Level Rns and Licensed Practical Nurses both provide essential patient care but differ mainly in education, scope of practice, and responsibilities. Rns typically have more advanced training and can perform more complex tasks, while Lpns focus on basic care under supervision. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right career path or job opportunity.
