rn or LPN with specialization in neonatal work
Just about everything a RN can do but set up and start a blood Transfusion, Push IV drugs and administer some Cardiac drugs. LPN's are trained in all aspects of patient care, just like a RN. LPN'S can work as Directors of Nursing, over RN's. LPN can be trained in specialties just like RN's.
There are various types of LPN nursing careers available. You can be a traveling LPN, and at home LPN, a ER LPN or even work in a doctors office as an LPN.
Answer Two: An LPN can work in a Magnet Certified Hospital. The ANA does not define the role. The hospital may determine who they hire to perform which duties. As long as the LPN is working within their scope of practice and the hospital meets the guidelines required for Magnet Certification an LPN can work at a Magnet Hospital. There is a not a requirement for Magnet status that says you may not employ LPNs. Answer One: No, a LPN cannot work as a Nurse in a Magnet Certified Hospital. The ANA Magnet Organization does not define a roll nor recognize the existence of a LPN. An LPN can work in other capacities such as a Nursing Assistant, Janitor, Unit Secretary, or any other job that they are qualified other than a LPN.
Unfortunately, there is no LPN jobs that offer RN training while you work

No generally speaking the only nurses that work in schools are registered nurses, which is higher than an LPN. But there are classes so you can take to move from LPN to RN.
That totally depends on where you work. An LPN in a physician's office may do similar work to that of an RN but it is quite different in a hospital. The LPN always works under the RN. The LPN may or may not give medications depending on hospital policy and probably won't give IV meds.LPN's are usually at the bedside and providing direct patient care in the hospital setting. In the nursing home setting they will generally be the ones who give medications and perform most of the treatments.
No. A LPN is a licensed practical nurse. To work as a surgical tech, you must complete a specific training program for that job. It is usually a 15-18 month course.
