LPN stands for licensed practical nurse. LPNs are also called LVNs in some areas, which stands for licensed vocational nurse.
If you want to work as a nurse, becoming an LPN is one of the fastest ways you can do it!
In this video, Nurse Sarah explains how to become an LPN or LVN nurse. Generally, you'll have to attend an approved LPN program, which takes around 1-2 years in the U.S.
Once you graduate from the program, you'll get a certificate or diploma, and you'll be eligible to sit for the NCLEX-PN exam. Once you pass the NCLEX, you'll be licensed and can practice as an LPN.

Can i study LNP without CNA please
I worked as an LPN for 2 years in NJ before i got my RN and i made 110k/year. The secret? Work with an agency who will pay you at least 42-45$/hr and work a lot of overtime. I was making 3500- 4000$/week. It also helped me pay for a 2yr LPN-BSN bridge program. Just passed my nclex RN.
congratulations...I am just starting lpn school..I would like to travel, do wound care, and do homecare...and definitely with an agency...I need to in out where the good agencies are
Congratulations and good on you for knowing your worth with these companies!
Which school did you go to for the bridge program?
Perfect strategy.
This is amazing. I am planning on getting my LPN and working while in RN school🙂. This is really helpful
Im 47 years old and did a fast track LPN program in 9 months maintaining an A average and keeping my full time schedule as a Psych Tech
I just got accepted into the practical nursing/LPN program at my community college. Fingers crossed to the journey🤞🏽God is good! Thanks so much for this information Nurse Sarah!
Shout out to all the Nurses! Becoming an LVN was the best decision, I have purpose in my life now.❤️ I cannot thank you enough for the knowledge you share Sara.
I’ve been a LPN for 4 years now and I love it. I make $70,000 a year as a LPN. I’m planning to go back and get my RN soon.
What state are you in?
You're definitely not in Cali
wow, I am an RN with a bachelor and I make 74k in Ga
@@BenjaminPope they can make as much to what amount. I am cna in ca
@@usefultipstricksandhacks5803 What kind of work do you do? Just curious because I’m a new grad RN with an associate’s. I make $73k in TX. I made less when I worked at a hospital. I left the hospital and went to work at a dialysis clinic and they offered me $10/hr more than what I was making at a hospital. I don’t know if my situation was just an anomaly but it seems like there may be more money to be made outside of the typical hospital setting.
I did the whole process of applying, passing the entrance exam and getting accepted to the school. Did the whole grueling rigorous 10 month program with anxiety and PASSED. Graduated in 2019 with my peers. But when I went to schedule the exam I was so nervous so I kept pushing back the date. I finally took the test 4 months after graduation (Oct 2019) and didn’t do well (I didn’t focus enough). Covid happened in 2020 and everything was shutdown. I am now ready to test in 2022.
I am taking LPN , at the community college . It’s a 2 years program and I am in my 1st year. I am most done my first year. I am really enjoying it although so stressed. Thanks you Sarah
Don’t stop you got it!
My program was 9 months accelerated.
I am in my LPN program and loving it. Will graduate in 5 months.... God willingly 🙏.
I’m starting off with LPN just better for my life right now and I’m not ashamed I’m really excited!
what school?
Ashamed for what ?? Lol
@@simplyshanbrown3684
Exactly. That's wat I'm trying to figure out.
A lot of people shame Lpn/lvn especially in the hospital
I am an LVN and about to finish my RN program in 2 months. Yay. You're videos have helped me so much along both journeys.
I work as an LVN in a general practice office that includes peds, and I love the variance in duties in that practice. I've been an LVN for almost four years and worked 7 days a week for a year to earn my experience. I worked in shift care but wasn't for me, then I worked in a skilled nursing facility on the weekends while I kept my previous job. I finally gained enough experience i felt to land the perfect position for me.
Update!! I've just been promoted to LVN supervisor! If you feel the road gets rough don't give up!!! Keep it moving if you really want this it's going to happen.
I work at a SNF as a CNA currently, and I give plenty of kudos to others who can do SNF or LTC. I would say half the time it drives me nuts but other times it is so rewarding watching the residents and patients make their goals and go home.
I’m about to graduate from my LVN program. Next week is our final week for term 3, then term 4 is going to last 6 weeks, and then we will be taking 8 exit exams + NCLEX. Wish me luck! I will come back and watch your videos to review my knowledge
Good luck!!!!!🍀 💕💕ahhhhhh so exciting!!
My LPN program was a full time program -5 days a week, and took 10 months
Really? What state?
Where did you go to study LPN?
That is how my school is that I’m currently attending. 5 days a week 10 months. But it’s super intensive but doable.
Thank you! Sara. You are such a great professional that helps thousands of students and people in general in our medical field. I am grateful for your existence. 🙏🏻
About to become a CMA and my next step is to become a LPN ❤️
You got this girly 💪🏾✨💕👑
Thinking about moving up too.
Where I’m from (OK) we pretty much do everything an RN does. We just can’t do the initial assessment. Now that’s what they say but you’ll typically find that an LPN will do the initial assessment and the RN will sign off in it.
I am also an OK LPN. I've done pretty much everything that RNs do. I also make a little more than some of my RN friends
Hi, great video! I made 70,000 as an LPN nurse. I did go back to school for my RN but I really didn’t have too.
Thank you so much. You make the videos so clean and my ocd approves.
Thank you Sarah ! your videos are really helpful. Please make a video on diets in different disease conditions.
Thank You Serah I am Pursuing BSN From INDIA...Lots Of Love and Respect From INDIA...🙏🙏🙏
Got my acceptance letter for LPN and I didn’t get in unfortunately, but I’m not gonna give up I gotta keep going 🤞🏽
I’m in the LPN program now.. I will finish in 5 month
Wow.. nice
You finished already?
An RN and LPN/LVN can work in the same unit caring for the same patients and there’s still a big pay gap and I find that strange. 🤔 The only difference in said areas is the LPN doesn’t do the initial assessments or hang blood. (Speaking from experience)
I personally feel if you’re qualified enough to work in the same unit and only limited by 1 or 2 things, there shouldn’t be a big pay gap. 🤨
I agree
completely agree!! my mom has been an LPN for 15 years on a mother baby unit & STILL doesn’t make as much as new grad RNs. She raised 2 kids through those 15 years & going back to school just wasn’t an option at the time, but putting that much time into a profession, I wish the world / hospitals would see how much her & her RN coworkers do that are practically identical.
@@Samchandia She needs to change hospitals if possible. She definitely has the experience for it. Staying at a company for a long time is bad if they don't raise wages over time. The average rate they are paying new graduates LVN or RN might be higher in general now and they kept her salary low the whole time.
in Idaho LPN can do almost everything that RN does. I was a CNA for 28 years, earned a BS in social science, and am now in LPN school :)
@@Samchandia Unfortunately, it's all about the title. RNs get paid more because of their title, even if LPNs do the same, if not more work than the RN does. I am in RN school but I believe LPNs are no less of a nurse than an RN is. Both nurses should be paid equally depending on their experience level and specialty.
Thank you for posting this it was very helpful.
I’m going to school to become an LVN it’s shorter 1 year and less pre reqs for me to take. Plus it’s not as expensive as the RN program. I want to be a home health nurse. I am already working as a home health aide.
Thank you Nurse Sara
thank you for explaining the process! I like the southern accent in how you explained it as well :)
Great thanks
Thank you so much 😊
Thanks this is right on time been a CNA for 20 years LVN at my job start at $44 in about to take the nclex no school challenge method 3
$44 for an LVN is awesome!!! Here in Texas that’s RN money lol. I think the LVNs I’ve worked with were getting less than $30.
That is so cool that you can challenge your boards!! It should be like that everywhere for LPN.
Good luck;)
What state is that in? Thats awesome
4 months away from LPN pinning. Lets goooooooooo
Thank you 💕
Thank you
35 YO male CNA here, just got done with my TEAS and scored a 73. next step is submitting my application for my LPN program. while I originally wanted the RN avenue, with my GPA being only 3.21 that was not an option. So, down the line I can maybe do the LPN to RN program.
I am lpn looking to get RN degree but community college is hard to fulfill their requirements..happy since 5 yrs working as a LVN making great amount of money 💴
In what state you live in?
I graduate with my LPN in July.
Go for the RN!! Go straight to it!! I hear a lot of LPNs regret going to be an LPN when they could just be an RN and make more. We do the same things, just different pay!
Hi Sara 👋🏻 I'm interesting with LPN program. Do you suggest to take online lpn certification program? Why im asking that because I want to become a rn in the future. What can you say about that going college or online school? Thank u 😊

God bless all
Hello dear Sara. I register PTC, which they told me need to take interance exam. Do you have idea what to study ❤
You might as well do an associates degree in nursing(RN) if this is supposed to take 2 yrs.
Would you say going to school for lpn/lvn is worth it in 2022? I love healthcare but I just wanna make sure after school I always have a place to work.
I would say it depends on your state and city.
Do you recommend skipping the LVN program and going straight to RN program
Hello! I'm researching LPN programs in MA. When applying for a job, will employers "discriminate" against community college vs universities? Any advice will be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
My LpN program is 9 months
About to challenge the board here in CA so no school needed! Method 3

Have you heard of the 30 unit option?

I am attending community colloge and am done with all Pre Reqs required to apply to the Nursing program, if i want to become a LVN must i ask my school for this program? Is is different than nursing school? Or do i need to find an outside tech school?
I am in the process of challenging the board for my LVN. However, I got denied due to my old job saying I worked as a unit secretary, that's not the case . How can I get help and apeal their decision?
Do they have LPN programs online?
Hi, I got my canadian rpn licence . I have to change my licence from rpn to lpn. In order to do that, I have to pass CCA ( entry level clinical competency assessment) exam. It’s an 8 hours practical exam . I don’t have any idea about it and am super nervous. Does anybody attend it for changing their licence to another province? It will be a great help if someone has the information. Thank you.

Hi Sarah am in Africa and hold a diploma in General Nursing I would like to know how to further and work abroad . And also if you have a diploma are you an RN or a LPN
LPN
I know in Canada you’re an LPN or RPN.
I have started CNA in uae..
❤❤❤
I want to become an LPN but I don’t know if I’m smart enough for that I’m scared ,
I recently graduated n passed my state board For CNA But I’m scared to continue to LPN
I’m not taking the Covid shot so unfortunately I will need to move states to become an lpn 😭
and also unfortunately you always hear the ridicule towards LPN because they arent "good enough" to become an RN. Hell, even one day at my work I overheard a caregiver assessing one of my LTC patients before transferring to assisted living mention that the term LPN should really just stand for "Lowest Paid Nurse". Quite rude.
Ugh! I want to become an lpn so bad
🥰
I am so scared to fail. I did horrible my second year in RT school (Resp. school). Although I feel pretty strong in some areas, in a lot of ways I am really dumb. I just want to provide the best care for people and thrive in a very interesting field. Most people dont want to work in a nursing home or with old people but Ive always wanted to do that. I love my grannies and grampas! I just need a way to get in and do the best I can do and win at it lol. HELP!!
I'm a new babi :)
i would like to study LPN
$44 in Sacramento
staff or agency pay?!
