I'm a retired LPN. It's usually a Vo-Tech type class. Often RN programs allow students to test for their LPN after their first year of a two year RN program. Going for an RN will offer you a lot more opportunities. I became an LPN because I was an adult with a family to care for and couldn't afford to be in school for two years. If you're young, unencumbered, and able to do it, go for the RN. OTOH, one of the nice things about being an LPN is that it allowed me to do more hands-on patient care.

I'd advise you to start checking the community colleges, also known as junior colleges, and see who has an LPN program. You might check with the Arizona board of nursing. Their website is at www.azbn.gov/Default.aspx

You could also go to the counseling department at your college and ask which other schools have an LPN program. I'm sure they could give you information.

Good luck.
