English term or phrase: Practical vs. Diploma nursing school What is the difference between practical nursing school and diploma nursing school? I have seen we have had these discussions before but I need clarification. I always figured you had your CNA LVN ADN BSN MSN How does this fit in to these categories? The context is as follows. What is your highest level of education? Among the choices you have: Practical Nursing School Diploma Nursing school two year college degree four year college degree Master's degree, etc.	yolanda Speece KudoZ activity Questions: 1049 (none open) (36 closed without grading) Answers: 1915 Local time: 07:16
enfermera técnica vs. enfermera diplomada Explanation: I'm a nurse and agree with the notes that Robert Copeland gave. In addition, the CNA is a Certified Nurse Assistant. I use "técnica" for the LPN/LVN because their work is more basic and technical without the theory and advanced studies that you find in the ADN, BSN and MSN educational programs (who are all eligible to become Registered Nurses).

Lydia De Jorge United States 01:56 Oct 24, 2007  Beautiful explanation Robert - submit your answer! yolanda Speece ASKER 22:18 Oct 23, 2007  Thanks Robert. I wasn't sure because I had always heard LVN not practical nursing. So then the diploma nursing school would be the the ADN, BSN and MSN. Gotcha! You should have answered anyway. You can always use the points. Robert Copeland United States 22:13 Oct 23, 2007  The diploma, a 2-3 year experience was more common before the 1970s, when there were more than 800 diploma schools in existence. There are now less than 100 such schools. A diploma experience prepares students for work in a hospital or other inpatient fac Robert Copeland United States 22:12 Oct 23, 2007  A licensed practical nurse or vocational nurse is an entry level nurse (1-1 1/2 years of training); next comes the ADN-or 2 year nursing programs; the the BSN=4 years of school; then the MSN-Masters Degree-It varies a little from place to place as well!!! Robert Copeland United States 22:11 Oct 23, 2007  Yolanda please see: http://www.allnursingschools.com/faqs/programs.php for the answer to your question.... Practical and Vocational Nursing programs are the same, they are called differently in different places. Automatic update in 00:
