All about Licensed Practical Nurse?
I’m working on a project about how to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Can you share any important information I should know or include?

Hi Yasmin,
To become an LPN (or LVN in some states), you need to get your high-school diploma or GED, complete and accredited LPN program and pass the NCLEX-PN exam before you can be licensed in your state. The training programs typically last 12-18 months. You'll find them at Community Colleges.
I hope this helps! All the best to you!
