Hello, I am currently a medical assistant and am wondering if there is any online LPN courses I can take? Thanks

This question has been asked many times and I personally have never heard of any online LPN courses. There is so much clinical and hands on training that you need to learn I can't imagine getting an LPN degree on line. Once you have your LPN, you can get your RN on line or go even further to get your BSN. I would definately suggest a class room setting to get your LPN degree. I worked as a CNA for 18 years prior to going to school and although the CNA training helped, there were still TONS of procedures and skills that I had to learn to perform to become a LPN. Good Luck to you!!

check out http://www.deaconess.edu they have an online lpn and rn program. Clinicals are done either in groups if your are local to st louis area or if you are out of town like me you find a hospital near you who will let you be precepted there. Also, check with your board of nursing to see if you will be able to sit for boards. Certain states have a problem with online learning. The college offers on campus and online programs and is NLN accrediated. Dont let anybody get you down about learning this way either. I know some of the finest nurses who have excellent clinical skills and are in very high positions who received their degrees this way. good luck:nurse:

How do I find out if Michigan accepts LPN licensing through an online course. I know of someone who did it but did her clinicals in TX so she might have gotten her license in TX and then Michigan did a reciprocity. I don't know her personally, but my sister told me about her.
