Associate degreen in nursing and LPN.. are they the same?

thx

Depends on the state and the school....some community colleges have LPN associate degree programs and some have RN programs....there are also vo-tech programs that are about 14months long for LPN and specific nursing schools that are about 14-18 months long for RN, but you recieve no degree, just certification to take boards for licensure...hope this helps..

No. An associate degree in nursing is usually a two-year program, after which you're qualified to take the licensure exam to become an RN.

An LPN program is usually about one year, after which you can take the exam to become an LPN.

The job description and pay are different for an LPN and an RN.

No, there is a lot of difference between LPN and RN.

The first big difference is the amount of education
required for an RN as opposed to LPN. RN takes 2
years, and LPN takes about 1 year. After education,
you still have to pass the exams for either one.

The second diference is in the pay scales for the two job titles. RN's make significantly more money.
