LPN – Licensed Practical Nurse. This is what I went to school for. In Oklahoma, LPN’s can start IV lines and administer IV medications, other states have different laws. An LPN does charting, medication administration, routine patient care, phlebotomy…. lots of different things you can do.

RN – Registered Nurse. In some states, you must be an RN to administer IV lines and IV medication. Its all still the same work, but slightly higher pay with a few more responsibilities. RN’s can be nurse managers and things like that.

BSN – Bachelor of Science in Nursing. This simply means you went to college and got your bachelors degree specifically in Nursing.

Does that help?
