If you are classed as an international student then the fees are high. If you are in the US there are usually pre req that are required before training and you may have to shop around asking quotes. In what capasity are you in the US?

Check at your local Junior Colleges. There is usually a waiting list, but in most cases you can use the wait time to get your Associates Degree requirements and then focus on nursing fulltime your last two semesters.

Junior Colleges are also very good at making sure you have the credits and classes required for bridging from an Associates to RN or BSN.

Also, in some parts of the country, vocational high schools offer LPN programs to adults. This is very common in the Midwest. Check with your local school districts.

In the South and Midwest these are two of the most common ways that people get their LPN.

Good Luck!!
