    No you don't however, the responsibilities of an LVN and a RN are essentially the same, that being the RN has to get a BS degree which gives them a little more money, but over all the same job! ***Yes, RN's can get paid a little more, but I was refering to the responsibilities being almost the same.

Not really the same job, but nursing homes tend to treat LPNs as an RN. Yes, you can become an RN without being an LPN unless there are no traditional RN programs in your area and only LPN to RN programs. Also, the RN programs may utilize waiting lists so you may not be able to start the RN classwork right away.
