How Is A Lpn Job Different From A Cna Job At A Nursing Home?


This Question From LPN Nursing Jobs | 2 Answers


I’m thinking about studying to become a LPN, but I heard that most work at nursing homes, and though I don’t want to work at any of them. I know that I might have to. So what would a LPN do that a CNA wouldn’t at a nursing home. Or are they all just treated the same?
And are there any LPNs out there, if so can you explain what you do? Thanks!

    I worked as a cna we did all the personal care , bathing , feeding. lpns do the meds and keep the charts as well as the feeding tubes and so on

    cna’s do all the hands on dirty work and the LPN’s manage the paperwork, meds, etc
