Education. If you enroll in a full-time licensed practical nurse (LPN) training program, you may be prepared and qualified to take your licensing exam in as little as 9-12 months. These programs are available from many community colleges, vocational schools, and universities, and they may range from 43-78 credit hours.equirements for admission to an LPN training program vary by state and by school, but you typically must hold a high school diploma or have passed the General Educational Development (GED) exam.
To become an LPN, you need to complete a training program in practical nursing and pass the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN). The LPN program generally takes around a year to complete.Although most schools won't let you shorten the time you'll need to complete an LPN program, you can use your LPN training as a foundation for registered nurse (RN) training.enerally, you will take courses during the summer that act as a bridge between LPN and RN programs before starting the second year of an RN program in the fall. Some schools will require you to complete up to a year of clinical experience as an LPN before you may enter an accelerated program.
