If there is any online LPN programs it won't be accepted in louisiana. Lpn is something you really should do in a class setting. Once you're an lpn then getting your rn is something you can do online.

I know this is an old post but I am looking for an online LPN program. The need for classroom study for an LPN program may be true for someone who has never done anything like that but I am an EMT-B and a RRT. I have earned the CPFT and AE-C credentials. I work in an ER and do many tasks that nurses do like Foley catheters, starting IVs, venous blood labs, arterial blood labs, EKG and vital signs just to name a few. I have a BS from a local university. I believe I would be able to do an online LPN program as well as an online RN program.
A bridge course for RTs, EMT Bs and Ps, CNAs would be a good course for online students.

This is a question that comes up periodically. There are no online LPN programs. While some programs have theory courses that can be taken online, virtually all LPN programs of this type require a clinical placement, either in the area where the student lives or in the area of the physical school.
