For many people interested in entering the health-care field, becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) is the most accessible, cost effective and least time-consuming way to put their vocation to the test. Besides the specific training involved in practical nursing, LPNs are part of the overall profession of caring for the ill and injured that can be highly satisfying.

Ohio LPN Training Options

The state of Ohio offers many training options for individuals interested in becoming an LPN. These training programs can be found in colleges, vocational schools, community colleges and nursing schools. Depending on the location of the school and the tuition requirements, students can find a wide variety of programs that will fit their own particular needs and also be in accordance with state standards.

Prerequisites for Entering an LPN Program

As in most secondary education, entering an LPN training program will involve having completed certain prerequisites. The most common requirements include an entrance examination, having a high school diploma or GED certificate and actually being accepted by the school applied to. Individual schools may have additional prerequisites depending on the duration of their program and the type of certification offered.

Duration of LPN Study Program

In most Ohio LPN training schools, students can expect to study from 12 to 18 months. Besides the traditional classroom activity, some Ohio schools are able to offer LPN students practical, vocational experience because of their association with university hospitals. This hands-on training is not only a valuable learning experience but will also make an LPN’s early, post-study resume stronger.

Preparation for NCLEX-PN Examination

Once an LPN nursing program is completed, students must submit themselves to a certification process which will differ from state to state. In the case of Ohio, applicants who have studied in-state will need to request Certification of Program Completion Form which is sent to the Ohio Board of Nursing. Ohio residents should take advantage of the many programs offered in the state in most major cities such as Akron and Columbus as well as in medium-sized communities like Youngstown and Springfield, as this will facilitate this part of the certification process.

Becoming an LPN in Ohio can be the first step towards a life-long career in the health-care field. Dedicated students will discover in a reasonably short period of time if health-care is their vocation, an area where the care of the ill, injured or disabled can bring great personal satisfaction and contribute to the community as a whole.
