The LPN/LVN degree can be earned with about one year of schooling in a practical nursing program. There are currently about 1,200 accredited LVN/LPN programs in practical nursing in the U.S., including community colleges, vocational colleges, and online colleges.

Students looking to become Registered Nurses (RNs) take the NCLEX-RN, while those who want to work as Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) take the NCLEX-PN.
