I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. You can't work as an LPN unless you have graduated from an accredited program AND passed the Nclex-PN. However, being in an high school LPN program, you can probably work as a CNA (certified nurses aide) after you completed so much of your program AND passed the certification exam for nursing assistants.

I worked as a CNA my senior year of high school to pay for college. It wasn't always easy, but it was great experience for the nursing world.

Is that what you were asking?

not quite, I meant upon passing the NCLEX and after gradauting from the LPN program, can I work as an LPN? I will have my high school diploma and my license (when I pass the NCLEX-PN). oh yea, I am a CNA. But I don't want to work as a CNA. I rather finish the program and work as LPN.

Once you pass the Nclex-PN and have a license, you most certainly can work as an LPN:)

I wish I had a high school program like you do. Keep working hard. It will pay off in the end.

Wow. just completed my first week in nursing school and I feel like I'm back in the Bachelor's of Nursing Program I used to be in when I was living in Hawaii. (didn't finish so I could have my baby)I attend a LVN program out of a community college here in central Texas and I already have like 3 papers to write and a few assignments and synopsis. They seem very determined to get you critically thinking. It's great but I guess one should never assume a "vocation school" means you mainly will be doing 'hands on'-it does mean that but there still is a lot of written work and papers in the program I'm in. I guess that says something about the caliber of the program!

Hi! I'm starting my LPN program in April. It's a 1 year hospital program.

I have 2 small children at home, and they've been used to me at home with them, so this will be a big adjustment for all of us, but so worth it in the long run! My husband is really supportive, which is wonderful.

I'm very anxious/excited to get started!

Congratulations!! You'll do great!! I remember when i first started my LPN program, i was so nervous!! The program that i am in is extremely demanding, but it's so worth it in the end. I can't wait till it's over...only one more month until i graduate!!!

I got accepted to Shawsheen Valley Tech LPN program in Massachusetts. I start at the end of August. I am excited, but a little nervous. it's a 10 month program and it is known to be extremely difficult.
