They're licensed by the relevant state board of nursing. Also there are national board certifications a health care facility can require they have before hiring them.

In the health care setting there can also be licensed practical nurses, orderlies, nursing students, and the like who handle certain aspects of patient care. The RNs supervise their work and can boss them around.

Typically RNs are the ones who do charting on patient status (which is an official record and becomes relevant in the event of legally recording a death or in other court proceedings) and administer prescription meds.

RNs also increasingly specialize too so you have critical care RNs, emergency room RNs, etc. and a lot of certifications have been created for these. LPNs really don't specialize.

Lots of hospitals are doing away with LPNs and requiring all nurses to be RNs now.
