Nursing Courses Online

When it comes to nursing courses online everybody wants to be able to study from the comfort of your own home. I am one of those people. Let's start with CNA courses online. CNA is one of those career that you can finish in 6 to 8 weeks. You can study only and it is not a state mandatory for you to take your classes from an accredited school. You can even challenge the state exam and get your certificate to work as CNA. Yes it is provided that you pass the test. But if you did not, you have to take the exam again and you also are required to get your learning from a state approved school.

For LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) is one of the same. You must study from a state approved school of your choice before you are allowed to take the NCLEXPN exam. Because state's mandate that you must take your clinical training in a real hospital setting and under a supervision with a register nurse, you can not take LPN classes online.

For RN (Register Nurse) here are several conditions. If you are LPN and you want to further your career to become an RN, you can take 2 years associate degree to become RN. But if you have no previous nursing experience, you have to go 4 years college.

Hope you have a correct understanding when it comes to choose a correct nursing courses online.
