It takes completing an entire LPN course and then sitting (AND passing) the state boards (NCLEX-PN) to become a licensed practical nurse...no short cuts around it.
Indeed!!! I keep thinking the NCLEX part is understood.
Every medical profession seems to have that final government mandated exam to become whatever it is they are trying to become.

That's ok. Just today I had someone tell me he was "almost" an LPN. "Almost?" I ask...and the response is "well, I just have one more course to go". "Oh? What course? Do you graduate soon?" Response: "I haven't started the program yet, so I have the LPN course to go...."
Yes, that's right. The 'one course' this guy needed to claim "his" LPN license was the entire program. Sigh.
