15. Lower Columbia College LPN2RN?

    SR8811 replied to SR8811's topic in LPN-RN

    @Wonderwallflower Yes its all the last quarter. You do 2 weeks of labs on campus, then around 1 month of clinicals with some weeks being Mon-Wed and others Mon-Thurs. Preceptorship is 130 hours and depends on your preceptor's schedule. 2-4 weeks.
