LPN Programs in Colorado

Training Programs to Become an LPN in Colorado

Practical nursing in Colorado is regulated by DORA (Department of Regulatory Agencies) Division of Professions and Occupations. This regulatory agency handles licensing of individual LPNs as well as approving LPN pre-licensure programs throughout the state. There are many different program types available for LPN education including one-year certificate level courses, two-year Associates level classes and IV Authority programs.

Many certificate-level programs enjoy passing rates of 80-100% in Colorado. No matter which program the student completes they will then become eligible to attempt the NCLEX-PN examination, and upon passing the exam they can make application to become an LPN in Colorado. Many LPN programs also offer job placement assistance for their graduating students to ensure a successful beginning to their careers.

The salary or hourly wage that an LPN can expect to earn will depend heavily on the city in which they work. Other factors that determine LPN wages are level of education, work experience, current economic conditions in the healthcare sector and type of employer. Colorado LPNs receive the highest average salary in the city of Denver making an average of $44,650 per year in 2012. Denver also offers the highest number of LPN jobs of any city in Colorado.

LPN training curriculum is usually comprised of various science courses including Human Anatomy, Physiology, Biology, Chemistry and Pharmacology. In addition to the science courses there are usually a few classes that cover Basic Nursing Principles, Nursing Theory, Patient Care, Ethical Compliance, and a few other select subjects. An important aspect of any LPN training course is the teaching and practice of hands-on nursing skills in a clinical environment such as a laboratory or health clinic. Online schools often have partnerships with local hospitals or healthcare facilities to facilitate the clinical skills training portion of their LPN programs.
