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.
