Are there regular nurses

I'm not sure what you mean by "regular" nurses, but some of the different nursing fields, or degrees, are: * LPN: Licensed Practical Nurse. This is a nursing degree that is earned through attending a vocational or technical college, usually requiring about 14 months of school and training. * LVN: Licensed Vocational Nurse. The same as above, just referred to in different terms, which varies from state to state. * RN-AssociateDegree: Registered Nurse, with an associate degree, that is earned through an associate program at colleges. This degree usually takes two years to earn. * RN-Bachelors Degree:Registered Nurse, with a four year degree. The duties performed by an associate degree and a bachelor's degree are the same, but an RN with a bachelor's degree usually earns more money, and can advance further in his/her career than an RN with an associate degree. * RNP-Registered Nurse Practitioner: A registered nurse who furthers his/her education to obtain an RNP license, which usually requires an additional two years after obtaining an RN degree. A RNP can diagnose and treat patients, and can prescribe certain medications to patiens, but they work under a licensed physician. * RNA-Registered Nurse Anesthetist: A registered nurse who continues his/her education to specialize in anesthesiology, which usually requires an additional two years after obtaining an RN degree. They work under the supervision of an anesthesiologist, but the do administer anesthesia to patients during surgical procedures.
