Is a LPN a graduate professional?

A Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) is considered a healthcare professional, but they typically complete a diploma or certificate program rather than a graduate-level degree. LPN programs usually require about one year of study, and graduates must pass a licensing exam to practice. While they possess specialized training and skills, LPNs are not classified as graduate professionals like those with advanced degrees (e.g., nurses with a Master's or Doctorate).
