Each states Board of Nursing has a list of programs they've approved to grant nursing degree along with contact info. You will need to check into programs interested in for their prerequisites, admission criteria as no master list available.

DC --has just 1 LPN program:  DC Health Approved Nursing Programs

A Guide to Nursing Education in Maryland has 12 programs.

Why don't you look into an associate's degree for RN? Mine conferred an LPN halfway through, once they took the NCLEX-PN.  Then you are an LPN for a year, get your RN education done and take the NCLEX-RN and boom! You're an RN.

With prerequisites LPN might not necessarily be faster than RN. Where I currently live the LPN programs are often very expensive too and with lower salary potential that can be tricky. But does your current employer offer tuition assistance? If not it might be worth trying to get a CNA job somewhere that will pay towards your LPN and/or RN.

Thank you... getting such job will be difficult but getting student aid I think will be easier?

In my area, community colleges Associate Degree Nursing program offers daytime AND evening + weekend course options.  There is a wait list as more applicants than open seats  due to lack of space at local hospitals to accept  students as an urban/suburban area.   I gave you link to programs in your area, so research them to see which fits your work  + family commitments.

Two of my best hires as clerks  in home care agency were nursing students attending evening+WE ADN program; one continued as RN while she completed BSN program as most hospitals in Philadelphia area require BSN degree and area saturated with 12 BSN programs.

Sometimes you just need to do the work...not trying to be negative, but there are reasons for the prep work, to build a foundation of knowledge.
