You need 2 years of schooling to receive LPN certification.
Associates degree
Well, LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) is a type of degree, so that's what you'll get at a LPN school.
An lpn school is a school and or university that offers a degree in licensed practical nursing. These schools can be found in every state in the nation.
A licensed practical nurse degree is obtained through LPN school. An associate's degree (typically 2-years) is all that is required for an LPN and can be found from many on-line sources. On-line BSN (bachelor's degrees in nursing) are also available and would make one eligible for an RN position after some time in practice under a registered nurse.
The pay and opportunity will be greater with a bachelors degree in nursing, since you would be an RN rather than a LPN. ^^ YOU ARE NOT AN LPN IF YOU GET YOUR ASSOCIATES RN DEGREE!! you are still an RN, the only difference being that an associated RN went to school for two years and a BSRN went to school for 4. All the nursing classes are the same, you still learn the same material and you still take the exact same exam (NCLEX). You just don't take all the general education requirements that are required at a 4 year college.
The number and type of nursing degrees has expanded quite a bit over the last few decades. The time you need to spend in college will vary depending on where you go to school and whether you want an Liscenced Practical Nurse (LPN) degree or an Registered Nurse (RN) degree. For an RN degree you will need a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing (BSN) or an Associate's of Nursing degree. The BSN including the training would take about six years. The Associate's of Nursing would take about three years. For an LPN degree you would need about one year of school. Some LPN degrees are even offered online. The quality of nursing schools does vary, so be careful which school you choose.
LPN program provides basic nursing skills and knowledge which allowed people to have an easy transition to RN programs which usually takes two or four years to finish. You can take some lessons at Connecticut LPN School, New Jersey LPN School and at Utah LPN School.
It depends on what state you live in. In California, yes you can.
Entrance to an LVN program requires a high school diploma or GED and the program takes a year to complete. LPN training usually requires an associate's degree or graduation from a nursing program, and these take two years.
Typically, the LPN program runs nine months to one academic year, depending on where you take the program. It takes 12 months if you attend a vocational school, but a community college may take between 12 to 24 months.
You can complete your LPN training in as little as 7 months to 1 year for a hospital certificate, or you can obtain a LPN degree in two years from a community college or trade school. You will also need to pass the N-CLEX-PN certificate examination to become nationally certified. When comparing licensed practical nursing schools, it's a good idea to ask what sort of training the schools provide to prepare you for the LPN certification exam.
