LPN training requirements and Classes
LPN Training or LVN Education can take from 12 months to 24 months depending on which school a person chooses to go to. The LPN classes generally take approximately one year. The LPN classes required are usually, General Nursing, Anatomy and Physiology, Nutrition, Emergency Care, Obstetric Nursing, Pediatric Nursing, and Medical 
Surgical Nursing. To complete the LPN education the student will be required to complete the NCLEX-PN licensing exam. This test covers Safe effective care environments, Health Promotion and Maintenance, Pschyosocial Integrity, and Physiological integrity. The testing process can take up to 5 hours and can have 85 – 205 questions. The amount of questions administered depends on how successful the test taker answers each question. The test progressively gets more difficult, if the student answers are correct with increasing difficulty the testing program decides the student is competent in that field, and moves on to the next field of questioning. The test can be retaken as many times as is needed, however each time the board requires the testee to wait 91 days to retake the test.
After successful completion of this board exam, the student will be Licensed as an LPN/LVN.
