Online LPN Programs

University of PHX is good. I go to school once a week from 6-10 pm. Stay away from COLLEGE NETWORK and anything that charges you to find a school program for you. There are no ONLY ONLINE CLASSES FOR NURSING SCHOOL. You will always have to attend something because you have to get clinical experience and preceptorship. All these online nursing school things do is give you the information so you can pass the exam. But you can actually go and take CLEP exams on your own for credits that will transfer to a University. LITERALLY, you could do research on the subject and just CLEP test, get your credits and submit them to the University and you would get the same credit instead of paying these so called "online" programs. It's so stupid, I learned this the hard way.

I don't know for sure if they have it in PA but check. So far it's the only thing that has been satisfactory. It will get me where I need to go and it is FULLY-ACCREDITED. You must research what accreditation means and how it relates to your nursing license before you sign up with a school or you can really get screwed.

Some comm colleges have hybrid and online classes too.

I am also from Pittsburgh PA. The only LPN program I am familiar with is St.Margarets school of nursing. They have two campuses one at Mckeesport Hospital and one in Blawanox. I think they only offer daytime programs. There are two RN schools that I know of that offer evening and weekends classes and those are CCAC and Shadyside Hospital School of Nursing.

I know of no online LPN programs I don't think they exist.
