LPN teaching in MO

Published

I am wondering if LPNs are allowed to do any teaching of CNA or MA or CPR classes in Missouri, I can't find a strait answer. Thanks for any help!

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Have you tried asking local colleges where LPN training is done?

You would be qualified to teach CPR and CPR for the Professional Rescuer (basically BLS) through the Red Cross as well as their CNA course, but all of them require instructor certification. You could also teach Heart Saver and BLS classes through the AHA. I don't know if you would be qualified to teach at the community college level.

Thank you wheeliesurfer, I think I will look into getting my instructor certificate. I am a school nurse right now and I love my job, but I also have a lot of down time and have always wanted to do a little more with my LPN. Thanks again for all the help :)
