Home Study LPN Programs

Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) care for sick or injured people under the direction of physicians and registered nurses. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for LPNs is expected to grow by 21 percent between the years of 2008 and 2018, which is much faster than the average for most other occupations. There are many options when considering attending school to obtain your credentials to work as an LPN. Among the fastest-growing -- and a particularly good option for busy, working adults -- are home-study courses through accredited online schools.
