If you\u2019re thinking about becoming an LPN, you likely have lots of questions. Below we\u2019ll answer the pros and cons of getting your LPN online certification vs attending a physical classroom, what opportunities will await you once you have your certificate, and most importantly, the benefits of working as an LPN vs other nursing license types.<\/p>\n

Should you get your LPN online certification or go to school?<\/h2>\n

There are pros and cons<\/a> to getting your LPN online certification vs attending classes in an actual building. Let\u2019s break it down.<\/p>\n

First, here are five pros to getting your LPN online certification.<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. You\u2019ll save money. Online classes are often cheaper because there\u2019s not the overhead costs of powering up a classroom.<\/li>\n
  2. You can save on time. With less time commuting, you\u2019ll have more time to balance a job, classes, and your personal life.<\/li>\n
  3. You can set your own schedule. As we mentioned above, you won\u2019t be commuting to classes. You can essentially do your work whenever it\u2019s most convenient for you.<\/li>\n
  4. You can move at your own pace. If you want to finish school faster, you can work harder. You don\u2019t have to stick to a traditional school schedule when you\u2019re working at your own pace.<\/li>\n
  5. The most obvious benefit \u2013 you\u2019ll have more time for you, if that\u2019s what you want. If you want to make school your priority and get it done ASAP, you can. If you want to take your time and enjoy more one on one time with your friends and family, you can do that too. You pick your experience.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That all sounds great\u2026 but what else should you consider before deciding to go with online or traditional schooling?<\/h3>\n
