I thought the LPN program was under a year??

I have a question.

I was looking to take the LPN program at a few places it's advertised as a program that takes under a year to complete(10 1/2 months).

However today I recieved information in regards to the LPN program.

It said the following under Admissions requirements.

Graduates are required to work in a state operated healthcare facility for one year after graduation (I live in MA).

I have the following questions.

So is the LPN program really 1 year and 10 1/2 months, or just 10 ½ months or does this rule just apply to this school?

1) How long is the program in total is there a specific protocal/standard on length?

2) If the program turns out to take 10.5 for schooling and 1 year for clinical

could I take the program in Mass (the 10.5 months), and then spend that one year working in another state like Arizona? I

3) Do you get paid for that one year or is it considered training.

Mine is 18 months, stretched over 2 years.

When I was an LPN, my program, including all prereqs and requirements, took 3 years to complete, going full-time. And- it was not an associate's program, just a certificate.

By the time you are actually accepted into a program, it usually just takes a year to finish the actual program. All the pre-program requirements add on a lot of time.

It would be 13,000 for the program if we did not work for the state for 1 year. We only paid a total of 1,000+ and that was basically for our uniforms and books. We work for one year for the State because they are basically letting us go to school for free, and it is an accredited program where we can transfer credits to other colleges. A bonus of working for the state for one year, is that after 6 months of working for them they will pay full tuition for your college education if you want to continue on to get your RN or BSN, and that is what I plan to do. So I pretty much will get a free education, to me that dosen't sound bad for working for the state for one year.

I am interested in going to soldiers home for lpn school next year, can you give me information on how you liked it and if it was a good program? when you do work for the state for 1 year do you get paid?

hi thus anybody know a school in mass or NH that is under 12,000 and last for 10 months please.
