LPNs work under registered nurses (RNs) and is typically responsible for minor caretaking duties that can include feeding, updating medical records, handling patient calls and monitoring vital signs. In California and Texas, LPNs are known as LVN, licensed vocational nurse.

LPNs earn an average of $16 a hour. The actual amount will depend on the state. For example, nurses in Florida or California are more likely to earn more than a nurse in the mid-west due to the higher population and demand for nurses.
