Decide where you want to have the program. Most LPNs learn the fundamentals of their trade in a school of nursing or community college. A school of nursing is ideal for students who want to focus solely on completion courses related to nursing. A community college setting can help students broaden their interests to other fields as well.
Contact the director of the school of nursing or community college. Tell them about your desire to establish an LPN program and your credentials for doing so. Ideally you should have an extensive background in the field of nursing including practical hands-on experience and an advanced academic degree.
Arrange for clinical training. In order to become an LPN, most employers prefer candidates who have direct experience. The best way to get such experience is to have students work with actual patients. LPN candidates should spend time working in a nursing home or hospital under the direct supervision of a qualified nursing instructor. Contact hospitals and nursing homes in your area. Explain to them how setting up a program of clinical instruction on site can benefit both nurses and patients.
Find qualified instructors. To establish an LPN program, you will need teachers. A nursing instructor should have at least a master's degree in the subject as well as teaching experience. Seek out instructors with varied backgrounds such as those who've worked in large urban areas and those who have worked in a more rural environment.
Get accredited. The National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission should help you through the process. Accreditation can help assure any students that the program you have established meets all academic standards for nursing education. Accreditation will help make sure that teachers in the program are qualified to teach and that students who graduate from the program are prepared to pass state licensing exams and care for patients according to widely accepted standards of care.
