Answer:
An LPN is a Licensed Practical Nurse, it's also called a LVN, Licensed Vocational Nurse in some places. You usually don't earn a formal degree but some programs you earn an associates degree. A RN is a Registered Nurse, higher in education and ranking than the LPN. You can be a RN with either an Associates degree, which could be an Associates of Arts (AA) but is more commonly an Associates of Science (AS) or is just referred to as an Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN). It is a 2 year program, and it is the MINIMUM degree that you can hold in order to qualify to become licensed as an RN. You can also earn a baccalaureate degree (bachelors degree) in nursing, which could be in Arts (BAN) or Science (BSN). It is a 4 year degree, or, if you already hold the ADN degree you can complete your BSN / BAN in another 2 years. A master's degree in nursing in either Arts or Science (MA or MSN) is another two years and there is usually a specialty focus, it's not just a generic degree. Most people during their master's program earn their Nurse Practitioner (NP) license, or become a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS), Nursing Educator, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), etc.
