我应该成为什么样的护士?
护理

1. 注册护士和注册护士通常在相同的领域工作.

在医院里,注册护士和注册护士经常一起工作, 医疗中心或诊所, 养老院, 或者医生办公室. 然而, as an LPN or RN you may have greater flexibility 和 choice in where you work based on your experience 和 specializations. 注册护士和注册护士可能在专科部门工作, 学校, 军事, 或者在特殊的环境中担任旅行或飞行护士.

2. 注册护士和注册护士的工作职责不同.

CNAs may work under the direct supervision of an RN or LPN, but CNA vs. 注册护士的工作职责可能会有所不同. 像其他护士一样, CNAs help patients with basic living activities such as bathing, 穿衣服, 上厕所, 吃和喝. They also take vital signs such as temperature 和 blood pressure.

RNs may help with these tasks, but there is a difference in day-to-day tasks. RNs may spend more time assessing patients’ unique health problems 和 needs, 提供医疗指导, 跟踪健康历史, 和 interacting with physicians 和 families on patients’ care plans.

3. 注册护士比注册护士需要更多的培训和教育.

CNA培训可以相当快地完成. 在这之后, graduates may take a state licensing exam so they have the best credentials to apply for jobs.

RNs typically need two to four years of schooling—depending on their degree 和 how many credits they take. They can earn their associate degree in nursing (ADN/ASN) in about two years or their 护理学理学士 in about four years. 在他们完成学业后, they may take the National Council Licensing Examination for Registered Nurses exam (NCLEX-RN). This exam tests them on the application 和 analysis using the nursing knowledge they gained in school.

总的来说, 它大概需要 2-5 years to take all the necessary steps to become a registered nurse, 取决于许多潜在的因素.

学生 may also choose to pursue a diploma in practical nursing to take classes to become a licensed practical nurse (LPN). These programs generally take 12 months 和 prepare students to take the National Council Licensing Examination for Practical Nurses exam (NCLEX-PN). 了解更多有关 lpn和RNs的区别.
