Licensed practical nurse licence (LPN/LVN)
The shortest licensed route into nursing: about a year of training and a national exam, for work that pays roughly two-thirds of what a registered nurse earns.
Kajaba iku, ana uga sing nyebutake yen wangun iki bisa digawé saka setengah-setengah.

Apa sing dadi angka biaya, lan apa sing ora
Read this figure with one caveat: the federal programme code it comes from, CIP 51.39, covers practical and vocational nursing together with nursing-assistant training, and at certificate level the two cannot be separated. That range is median cumulative FEDERAL LOAN DEBT at completion, not a tuition sticker price and not total cost. It is what completers actually borrowed, so it excludes grants, savings, family money, employer funding and living costs — which makes it a FLOOR on what the credential costs, never a ceiling. The low and high figures are the 25th and 75th percentiles across the institutions that report a figure for this programme, so a quarter of institutions sit below the low end. College Scorecard pools two award years into each figure; the release used here is dated 10 June 2026.
About a year full time at most schools, longer part time. The exam at the end is the NCLEX-PN.
Renewal is every one to two years depending on the state.
Apa ana wong kang duwe iki, lan apa ana wong kang kerja ing lapangan

53,362 people who passed the NCLEX-PN licensing exam — 2025, calendar year 2025.

Apa kode program iku nglindhungi: CIP 51.39 puts practical and vocational nursing — the LPN/LVN route — in the same code as nursing-assistant and orderly training, and at certificate level the two cannot be separated. Those are very different qualifications: one is a licensed clinical role reached after about a year, the other is a few weeks of training for work that pays far less. This figure is both of them together, and the mix is not published, so it may not be read as the LPN figure.
The same code that blocks a clean cost figure blocks a clean outcome figure: practical nursing and nursing-assistant training share it, and the mix is not published. Read the rate as covering both.
Siapa ing kohort: completers kang nampa bantuan mahasiswa federal - kira-kira setengah saka mahasiswa AS, lan setengah liyane ora diukur ing kene. Wong sing pindhah kanggo sinau luwih iku ing salah siji kolom.
