GSSPN

I just want to clarify 2 statements...1) The LPN program is NOT necessarily accomplished in 1 year. It depends on your status in the program meaning whether you are attending as a full-time student or part-time. The program I completed was an accelerated 10 month (1 year, essentially) program. Some community colleges offer a part time option which would make the program 2 years. It all depends on the individual's responsibilities (ie. work, kids, spouse etc.) 2) It is completely erroneous to define a LPN as a "nurse without a college degree." There are plenty of LPN's who have degrees in other majors although the degree is not in nursing. It is the same w/RN's. There are RN's who do not have a college degree at all. Many aspire and do attain their BSN. In either case b4 you are licensed, you have to sit for the NCLEX. Once you are licensed you can go on to study for any other degrees in nursing.
