Question: how long can it take for a licensed practical nurse to become a medical doctor? is it shorter after becoming a licensed practical nurse, a nurse practioner, or registered nurse.

Answer: After LPN the next shortest would be to transition to RN; then a BSRN, then a Nurse practitioner (need some RN experience and a BSRN first). The longest route would be to the MD--that basically requires starting all over--4 years bachelors, 4 years med school, residency.

Question: what are some schools in Atlanta,Ga that offer a program to become a Licensed Practical Nurse? I want to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. I want to know about colleges campus wise so that I can move to Atlanta and attend, not an online school.Because every school I found was only online. It can be a community college or a tech school as long as it is campus based and not an online school.

Answer: contact GA Dep Of Health, state nursing board, state licensure, or even national nursing league via phone or email - you should be able to find phone number or email address on the internet. They should be able to tell you.

Question: how to become a licensed practical nurse? Does anyone know how to become a licensed practical nurse? I would like to work as a LPN in the summer and by then I will have 2 years of nursing school under my belt. Would that be possible?

Answer: LPNs are also often referred to as RPNs (Registered Practical Nurse). Most practical nurse programs are 2 years (62 weeks) and require any Grade 12 U or C English, a Grade 11 or 12 math credit, Grade 11 or 12 biology and Grade 11 or 12 chemistry (minimum grade for each course is 65).

Most hospitals have open house for hiring, go and take your resume. You can also look for jobs in the Chicago Tribune. Chicago's newspaper, Sunday edition will have the most job listings. Go to Chicago Tribune.com The nursing field is a great field. Best Wishes and Welcome to Chicago!
