Online courses for LPNs/LVNs?



My fiance and I are planning on getting married soon and are wanting to start a family. However, I want to continue with my education and become a LPN/LVN. I was wondering if there were any good on-line schools that have this particular program where I can work at a doctors office to support my family but at the same time take online courses to benefit myself. Can someone please help? Thanks SO much!!

You might want to try your local community college. They usually have LPN/LVN programs that you can take in the evenings. You could also apply to work as a "non-certified nursing assistant" just to get your foot in the door. Source(s): I work in the Health care industry
Not sure about LPN's online courses, but College Network has a RN online program, so does Phoenix College
I don't know that there are any online nursing schools as one really needs hands-on clinical practice to hone their skills. Please don't sign-up for those 'online schools' such as Strayer University, University of Phoenix, Devry U, Kaplan U, Kaiser U as they are typically not seen as reputable to employers. Vocational-technical schools (preferably thru the county since much more affordable) tend to have the LPN programs. Bless you!
You cannot get an INITIAL nursing degree online...that is why you can't find one.

You'll have to go to a physical school to get either an LPN or an RN degree...you can take courses on line to "bump" you up to the next level...but not an intitial nursing degree.

That is a requirement in EVERY state with the Boards of Nursing.
