Default Re: Advice?
First, you need to check with your state board of nursing to determine if they will allow you to sit for the LPN board exam in the program is not accredited. In my state, this is not allowed. The program must be accredited. You need to check with the RN programs that you would be applying to if they would accept the credits from the non-accredited LPN program. My initial thought is that they probably would not. If you want to pursue this route, why not find an LPN program that is accredited?
