Finding an online LPN program that accepts students who have timed out can be challenging. However, you may want to contact schools directly to inquire about their policies for accepting such students.

Here are a few steps you can take to find a suitable program:

Research online LPN programs. Look for online LPN programs that offer flexible curriculum and admission policies. Many schools offer online LPN programs, and some may accommodate students with special circumstances more.

Contact schools directly. Talk to a real person. Contact the admissions offices of online LPN programs you're interested in and explain your situation. Ask whether they have any options for students who have timed out or need to complete less than one semester of coursework. Some schools may have policies or programs to assist students in your situation.

Consider transfer credits. If you've completed coursework at another institution, inquire about the possibility of transferring credits to a new program. This could reduce the time needed to complete your LPN studies.

Look for programs with virtual clinical rotations. Some online LPN programs offer virtual clinical simulations as part of their curriculum. Ask about these options when researching programs, as they can provide valuable hands-on experience in a virtual environment.

Remember to thoroughly research each program, including accreditation, curriculum, and cost, to ensure it meets your needs and goals. Additionally, proactively contact admissions counselors and academic advisors for guidance throughout the application process.

Best wishes,
