How does RN training differ from LVN Training?

RN training takes one to two years longer than LVN training an goes more in depth into nursing skills. LVN's learn basic nursing skills like taking vitals and handling patients. RNs have greater responsibility and more involvement with complex medical procedures. RN training prepares them for this.

LVN training is more introductory than RN training. RN training builds on the skills you learn as LVN.
