What is the difference between an RN and an LVN?
LVNs and RNs are both integral members of the nursing profession, providing essential care to individuals who are sick, elderly, or injured in various medical settings. However, they differ in terms of their educational requirements, level of supervision, and scope of responsibilities. LVNs typically complete a basic education program lasting approximately one year, whereas RNs undergo an advanced education program spanning two to four years.
While both LVNs and RNs contribute to patient care, LVNs typically work under the supervision of both RNs and doctors, whereas RNs operate under the guidance of doctors. LVNs are primarily involved in direct patient care tasks, such as monitoring vital signs and changing bandages, while RNs often assume administrative duties, including health assessments and diagnostic research, alongside their patient care responsibilities.
What is the difference between a caregiver and a nurse?
-Caregivers play a crucial role in supporting clients with their Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), encompassing tasks such as personal hygiene, toileting, bathing, dressing, eating, and oral hygiene, among others.

Their responsibilities extend to administering medications, conducting triage, and collaborating with a multidisciplinary team that includes physicians and other healthcare specialists.
