CNA is known as Certified Nursing Assistant is a very physically demanding job. Their daily activities are mostly helping patients in and out of bed, giving a patient bath and doing various chores dictated by the Register nurse or an LPN.
In order to advance her career to a more paying position, CNA often want to take online courses to become LPN.
However, state requires that all LPN must pass a state exam plus another 70 hours of clinical training, which can only be done in a real hospital setting and under a supervision of a nurse.
It's in your best interest to find out about the accredited LPN programs in your state and whether or not the school of your choice is accredited LPN programs for your state.
Google for board of nursing in your state and start there.
As of this writing, there is not such thing as LPN courses online. Bottom line is this- LPN is a the starting career for all of your future nursing education. Once you are LPN, you can become RN by taking classes online. So as a CNA, you will still need to study your LPN classes from an accredited school and then you must pass the state cert NCLEXPN before you're allowed to work.
