LVN Education: Training as a Licensed Vocational Nurse
While most people on the street simply talk about “a nurse”, in professional circles the term LVN, or licensed vocational nurse is used. In Canada the term RPN, or registered practical nurse, is used. The course as developed for LVN education could be called a “foundation course”. This means that although it is a fast track qualification, allowing you to start working sooner than other students taking other courses, it still leaves room for further study and career advancement.
