Why would you think you can get a PROFESSIONAL LICENSE where you are working in situations where you can KILL PEOPLE if you are incompetant.. and be able to get that license with no basic knowledge or training? You need to have a LOT of Personal DISCIPLINE to get a Nursing License and if you don't have that... you may as well just keep flipping burgers.

Trade or tech schools offer course work preparing you for your LPN (or LVN)exam. To be an RN you must complete at least a 2 yr college. Many community colleges offer a RN program. Most RNs now are BSNs, which means that they have a bachelor of science degree in nursing. Two year RNs receive an associates degree. Both the BSN and AA (AS) programs prepare you for the same test... NCLEX. Your license to practice is the same. States other than Minnesota may be different, though. You can get extensive info on this subject by contacting your state nursing licensing board. Yes for the LPN part of your question, in Minnesota, at least.
