Licensed Practical
Nursing Program

Like Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs), LPNs provide basic medical care under the direction of registered nurses (RNs) and doctors. Their job duties can vary depending on the employer and location.

In May 2019, the median annual wage for LPNs was $47,480. The highest 10 percent earned more than $63,360. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the top industries in which LPNs worked were as follows: nursing and residential care facilities; government; home healthcare services; hospitals at the state, local, and private level; and offices of physicians.

While LPNs and Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) represent the same job, these terms cannot always be used interchangeably. This is because the correct title will depend on your location in the United States.

The first step is to pursue an approved educational program as well as the licensure exam (NCLEX-PN). If you choose a diploma program, you can typically complete your studies in one to two years. However, our PN program can be completed in as little as 12 months!

A Practical Nursing program can provide you with the practical training, hands-on experience, and industry support needed to pursue a satisfying career as a Licensed Practical Nurse. Some programs will also assist students with passing the national licensure exam.

At Eagle Gate College, our Practical Nursing program can be completed in as little as 12 months. If you’d like to start a new career without spending years in school, this could be a great choice for you.

The fees paid by each student can widely vary depending on their individual situation. In addition, a number of financial aid options are available to our students at Eagle Gate. For more information, reach out to our admissions department.
