From LPN to RN in 20 Months
Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) can increase their employment opportunities with a degree in nursing.
Going from LPN-to-RN in 20 months is possible at 嫩天堂 College. You already have many of the basics down from your LPN education and experience. Take your career to the next level by training to become an RN.
The foundation for an RN Career
As an LPN you already do many of the same tasks that RNs do. You care for patients at the direction of a nurse. LPNs assist patients in bathing, dressing, and eating. They also clean rooms and beds, serve food trays, check patients for adverse reactions to treatments, and more.
RNs provide a higher level of care. They can modify treatment plans, supervise other nurses, provide immunizations and first aid, and more. In many cases, RNs have more autonomy than LPNs and can make decisions on their own in many areas.
Your education as an LPN is a great foundation for becoming an RN. The nursing program at 嫩天堂 College accepts your credits from your LPN program, allowing you to accelerate your learning. Earn your associate of science in nursing degree in only 20 months!
Once you complete the LPN-to-RN program, you qualify to take the NCLEX-RN exam. Passing the NCLEX-RN exam is vital for becoming a Registered Nurse and getting jobs as an RN. The RN program at 嫩天堂 College meets the high standards required by the Florida State Board of Nursing so that graduates are set up for success in their careers.
