Continuing on this topic - No wonder they have such shortage of nurses, I cannot find a school for LPN/RN in Maryland? Can anyone believe this? How do folks get trained for LPN? I thought this would be so simple but I cannot even find a school that ofers LPN. They have to be somewhere out there. This brings me to ask if the shortage is brought on by the lack of training facilities? If fewer people are being trained (and I have no stats) and if more are retiring or simply leaving nurses, how then do they plan to fill thse jobs? Please, someone in authority should look closer at this. I have worked as a CNA and Medication Aide (part-time) but since I have all these years experience in the healthcare field (and I have a totally different profession)I would love to get certified in nursing such as RN or LPN. Am I asking too much? I am willing to pay my own way. Thanks. lets continue this discussion. Judy

Thanks for the response. I live north of Baltimore so I will check out Pennsylvania and Delaware. Not sure how feasible because I can only attend in the evenngs or weekends. Thanks again and have a great evening.

Hello Maryland: Are there any training schools for LPNs/LVNs? Why is it so difficult to find one? None on Internet and none in phone books. Is there LPN online? Thanks
