if i get my lpn license in new york can i work in ct?


hay everyone. i just recently decided to go for my lpn rather than my rn. lpn is faster and im probably more likely going to get into an lpn program rather than the very competitive rn programs that seem to be IMPOSSIBLE to get into. the eventually bridge over to become an rn. im currently a cna at a convent and 90% of the nurses are lpn's and they love their job. i love being a cna but as everyone probably knows its a back breaking job. i love helping people and ever since i was little i could remember always wanting to become a nurse. i live in ct but all of the lpn programs at the technical schools start next january . and that is just too long for me. i want to get it done asap. then on the other hand there is lincoln tech... porter n chester.. and stone brdige academy that costs 25k. which is just ridiculous when tech schools cost 1/4 of that. so.. my last resort is lpn programs in new york. i found a few programs in the bronx that start in septemeber and last for only 11months for very low prices. so basically what im trying to get at... is if i get my lpn license in new york can i work in ct? and if anyone has any advice, please feel free to type away.

You need a New York license to work in New York. You need a Connecticut license to work in CT. A NY license is not valid in CT.

I could be totally wrong but...couldn't she attend a PN program in NY and take the NCLEX in CT in order to be licensed to work there?

If she attends a PN program in NY, she can get licensed in NY and endorse the license into CT.

I pretty sure that they way that it works is you can take the Nclex in any state but you will be licensed in the state of your nursing program.

Actually, I believe you can get your CT license if you have a NY one, BUT it requires more hours. So, if you get your NY license and work a few months in NY you can then get a CT one. I think!
