3. Anyone know of any good online lpn courses?

   2ndCareer_Nurse2B replied to nthompson24's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Before looking at an online LPN program, I would check with the state Board of Nursing. It would be a shame for you to spend money for a program and not be able to sit for your boards. I know here in AZ, online programs are not recognized by the BON.

   I don't believe that the classes are the same; however the content is similar. Once you finish the LPN program (as long as you meet the requirements), you can enter in to Block 3 of the RN program.
