Training Programs to Become an LPN in Florida
Pre-license education and training programs for practical nursing in Florida is regulated by the state board, but programs that enjoy accreditation from either the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) or by the Collegiate Commission on Nursing Education (CCNE) are not subject to regulation by the state board.
Anyone interested in pursuing an LPN education in Florida will have lots of schools and program types to choose from including certificate, diploma, distance learning and Associate’s degree level courses.
Typical coursework included in a Florida LPN training program includes classes such as Human Development, Mathematics for Health Occupations, Principles of Nutrition, Introduction to Nursing Theory, Administering Medicines, Maternal and Newborn Care (Theory and Clinical), Care of Children (Theory and Clinical), Body Structure and Function and Vocational Adjustments. The coursework is designed to prepare the LPN student to perform the necessary job functions and also to understand the science behind it. The continuing education renewal period for LPNs in Florida is every 24 months. At each 24-month interval each licensed LPN will be required to complete 24 hours of Continuing Education credits.
Most programs can be completed in between 1-2 years and sufficiently prepare the student to pass the NCLEX-PN examination and gain their license to practice in Florida. When reviewing potential schools and education programs it is important to consider many factors, such as reputation of the educational institution, tenure of faculty staff, number of students per classroom, amount of hands-on learning, amount of online learning or at-home book study, graduation rates, NCLEX pass rates and the type of degree desired.
Once an LPN is licensed and they begin working in Florida they will likely find employment in some type of nursing care facility, rehabilitation center or public hospital. Practical nurses will be called upon to perform a variety of tasks all related directly to patient care. These tasks may include charting for doctors, changing bed pans, assisting in transportation of patients, administering medicines or prescribed treatments, massaging, bathing, taking blood pressure readings, measuring vital signs, treating bedsores and much more.
