The LVN schools come out. I've searched on Google and a lot come out depending on the area you're located at.

Go to your state's BON & they will have a list of approved schools.

I am looking for a school/college to become a LVN and am feeling a little frustrated because I continue being directed to M.A. programs???????? WHY WHY Why, is it so darn hard to get help in the right direction???????

If you are visiting for-profit trade schools/vocational schools to seek information, those friendly 'admissions counselors' are under pressure to stir prospective students into certain training programs such as medical assisting.

And when the graduate cannot find a job after graduation, that same friendly admissions counselor will be there to re-enroll the person into the training program they wanted in the first place, such as the LVN program. Overall, it is a win/win situation for the school because they're generating more tuition dollars if you keep re-enrolling. It's a lose/lose situation for students who bury themselves in deeper debt training for something they never wanted in the first place.

You must be firm with the admissions counselors and tell them you want the LVN program. When they attempt to stir you into signing up for medical assisting, surgical technology, patient care technician, or some other program, tell these people again that you are interested in the LVN program.
