Online Licensed Vocational Nurse Certification
Every state and the District of Columbia require LVNs (licensed vocational nurses, also known as LPNs, or licensed practical nurses) to be licensed to practice. To become licensed to practice, individuals must successfully complete a practical nurse program and pass an examination. There are several online certificate programs.
Some courses that nurse programs typically offer or include are: safe and effective care environment, health promotion and maintenance, psychosocial integrity, physiological integrity, basic care, CPR and first aid, monitoring patients, conducting basic medical procedures and tests, anatomy and physiology, medical-surgical nursing, pediatrics, obstetrics, psychiatric nursing, administration of drugs, and nutrition.
