How do you become an LPN?

How many years does it take to become and LPN?

  • How long does it approximately take to become an LPN in a community college?

  • Answer:

    12 months normally. I once considered taking the program, and the one at a local tech school lasted 12 months, and another at a junior college was 18 months. Not very long at all, but they don't make that much money either. I say, go an extra year and a half and become an RN and make some good money and secure your future. Best of luck.

Depending on the college, I think it can take anywhere from 12 to 18 months. The college I went to was a 12 month program.

Approximately 1-2 years

it will take a year. however, you need to take the GE courses so if you take more than 12 years, you will finish between a year - a year and a half. or within 2 years.

7 bucks per hour for an LPN or 50,000 per year as an RN. Thats not a real tough decision. You could apply for the RN program. Get your LPN and get a job as an LPN while going through the RN program. Working at the hospital will make school a lot easier.
