Do you HAVE to be a CNA first?
4 posts back to top |
Posted about 5 years ago I am very interested in beginning a career in nursing, although I don't feel that becoming a CNA is right for me personally. I have been researching other positions, and I am very interested in the LPN title. Do I have to be certified as a CNA before becoming an LPN?? Does anyone have any advice or reccomendations? If possible, I would love to jump straight into schooling and training for LPN. I just need some feedback here. Thanks a bunch =)

| Posted about 5 years ago Think it depends on your nursing board requirements,here in the bluegrass state we have to take a MNA(medicaid nursing asst.) course first which is your CNA....before you are elegible to go on to LPN -or- RN..check with them..or any of your local schools,they will be happy to talk to you.. |

| Posted about 5 years ago It depends on what LPN program you go to and what the state requires. They just changed the program at my school so before I can even get into the nursing program I have to complete the CNA portion first and then become certified.
