LPN Training Under 11 months

I have been finding that 11 months is the norm for the LPN programs.

Does anyone know of any accelerated LPN programs that are less than 11 months?

Ours is 5-6 quarters long depending on if you do core the first quarter with allied health classes or if you do core then allied health classes. There are obviously 4 quarters per year, so ours is 15-18 months long. There are not any shorter ones around here that I know of.

ETA: That is the total time from start to finish, not counting breaks and stuff. Each quarter is 10 weeks, so it is 50-60 weeks of actual course work. Also, we do 4 quarters of clinic work, so 40 weeks of that.

thats great that they have a program thats the same length as the day program! In my school you can either go M-F 8-2:10 or nights and weekends. The fulltime day program like i said is just under 10 months and the part time night program is 2 years. I think its great to have this because some people do still have to work there 9-5 and im thankful i am not in there shoes, but otherwise theyd have to wait 2 years to graduate. Just letting you know, you are lucky!!!!(scheduling wise)

Those of you in the 11 month and under programs, does that include your core classes and other non-nursing classes? I have heard that some schools require those to be completed before starting the program and that would significantly shorten the amount of time the rest of the program takes.
