11. Going Crazy in LPN School/Advice PLEASE

    LadyMarine replied to anxious's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I don't understand how your school can do this. You need 700 hours of clinical to be a LPN. Is your school accredited? I would make a complaint. Your class is going to be totally unprepared to be nurses. I wish you the best of luck. Nancy
