Why are the review courses gear only towards RN scopeof Practice?

Nurses LPN/LVN

Published

Six years ago I decided to change occupations .I went back to school and my got two Social Work degrees .Well decided that I would like to some how combined my educations and professional experiences. 1 1/2 years ago I reapplied for my nursing license and was given partial reinstatement. Because I have not practiced in over 5 years I am required to take the test. I am a LVN and when I initially got out of nursing school there were review classed that were geared specifically for LVNs .Today that is not the case . I have taken a review and a refresher course and both are geared more for RNs. I have tried to find just a LVN review course but it has been to no avail.I am scheduled to retake the NCLEX test in November and I am afraid .

No harm in going to the nearest Barnes & Noble or some place similar and picking up a Kaplan, Saunders, etc., LPN/LVN NCLEX preparation review book. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.;)

ATI offers LPN review in a virtual format. It's intense and has a good success rate.

They are harder to find. I went back to nursing after 15 years and it took me a while to find a refresher for LPNs. Most states aren't really interested in having more LPNs in the nursing pool is why. Hoping you will find one.
