Certificate Programs in LPN Training

LPN certificate programs can provide aspiring Licensed Practical Nurses with the basic background and skills they need to sit the state-administered NCLEX-PN examination. Graduates are eligible for licensure after successfully completing the exam. While an associate’s degree program provides more information on theory and practical experience, a certificate program can still provide students with the basic knowledge they need to successfully complete the NCLEX-PN exam and become an LPN in a shorter timeframe.
