What is an ASN-PN? A practical nurse education is a certificate not an associates degree.

Actually, there are 2 ways to become an LPN.

1. Attend a trade school for 11 to 12 months, earn a diploma in practical nursing, and pass your state boards. This way is quicker but more expensive.

2. Attend a community college for 18 months to 2 years, earn an associate degree of applied science in practical nursing, and pass your state boards. This way takes longer but is cheaper.

There is no such thing as an ASN-PN. I've never heard of it...

I've not heard of a AAS degree for practical nursing. My college's program was 18 months and I got a certificate in practical nursing.

Some community colleges offer it, though these degree-granting programs in practical nursing are not extremely common.

In my honest opinion, it would be a waste of effort to earn a 2 year degree in practical nursing when a 2 year degree in registered nursing takes the same amount of time, is worth more in earning power, and opens up more career opportunities.

Here's an A.S. degree program in practical nursing: http://www.msubillings.edu/catalogs/COTcat2003/pg075.htm

I agree!
