It's usually a Vo-Tech type class. Often RN<a href="http://www.lpn-programs.com/"> programs </a>allow students to test for their<a href="http://www.lpn-programs.com/"> LPN </a>after their first year of a two year<a href="http://www.rnstudents.com/"> RN </a>program. Going for an<a href="http://www.rnstudents.com/"> RN </a>will offer you a lot more opportunities. I became an<a href="http://www.lpn-programs.com/"> LPN </a>because I was an adult with a family to care for and couldn't afford to be in school for two years. If you're young, unencumbered, and able to do it, go for the RN. OTOH, one of the nice things about being an<a href="http://www.lpn-programs.com/"> LPN </a>is that it allowed me to do more hands-on patient care. I'd advise you to start checking the community colleges, also known as junior colleges, and see who has an<a href="http://www.lpn-programs.com/"> LPN </a>program. You might check with the Arizona board of nursing. Their website is at www.azbn.gov/Default.aspx You could also go to the counseling department at your college and ask which other<a href="http://www.lpn-programs.com/lpn-programs-by-state/"> schools </a>have an<a href="http://www.lpn-programs.com/"> LPN </a>program. I'm sure they could give you information. Good luck. I’m a retired LPN. It’s usually a Vo-Tech type class.
