I've seen and heard it mentioned before

Published

I've read on these pages before about LPNs getting special certifications through online and/or old fashioned textbook instruction.

I am interested in gaining certification to assist myself in advancing my career.

Would someone be kind enough to list specific websites or addresses where I can gain the information I am seeking.
