American nurses are graded.
There are three levels: Registered Nurse (RN), practical nurse (LVN) and Registered Nurse Assistant (CNA).

RN: Foreign nurses who have obtained the certificate of National Registered Nurse License (RN) or Foreign Nurse Certification Examination (CGFNS) can apply for nurse immigration. Nurse immigrants are the third kind of immigrants and belong to professional immigrants. Because registered nurses (RN) in the United States belong to the long-term shortage of labor in American society, they can directly apply for a green card without applying for a labor card.

LVN: Literally translated as a professional nurse, equivalent to a nurse in China, with similar job nature. Its duty is to provide basic safe and effective nursing services under the supervision and guidance of registered nurses, and to implement and complete the nursing plan formulated by registered nurses. Its responsibilities are more focused on nursing technology, such as wound care and aseptic technology. LVN cannot be evaluated and analyzed, nor can it be injected intravenously.

CNA: As an ordinary worker, you don't need to pass the license exam, you just need to pass the simple nursing technology exam and get a certificate to work.
