Lpn to RN online

how is LPN to RN online college. Is that give the same knowledge and training as in class college?

There's no such animal. The didactic (book work) can be done online, but this education also includes the development of clinical skills - which must be done in a physical location.

There are specific requirements that have to be met in order for any program to be approved (by the state) and accredited (by a national organization). However, there is an enormous amount of variation in the quality of the instructors, physical facilities, resources, clinical training sites, NCLEX-RN pass rates, etc. Be sure to investigate everything before making a commitment.

Best of luck to you on your educational advancement.

Based on posting history, the OP is considering enrolling in the LPN-to-ASN completion program at Excelsior College, which is distance-based and requires no clinical practicum rotations to transpire concurrently with the didactic portion.

Excelsior College requires the 3-day CPNE, which is basically an opportunity for the experienced LPN or paramedic to prove their clinical skills competencies in front of one or more evaluators.
