If you want to qualify as an LPN which is the short way of saying Licensed Practical Nurse you first have to undertake an approved LPN program.  Once you have completed the relevant training which includes both a clinical and non clinical phase you will be required to take an exam that is run by your State Board of Nursing.  The exam is called the NCLEX-PN.  This is a pre-requisite for you being able to practice in any work location as a practical nurse.

I love the beach.  It is one of the most relaxing places in the world to me.  I am fortunate that I have a beach that is only about a 3 1/2 hour drive from my house.  It makes it special since it is just far away enough to make it a mini vacation yet close enough to make it easy to get to several times a year.  We always try and go during one of the sandcastle competitions as that always adds an extra excitement to the weekend.  Granted you have to sometimes stay an extra day to meet the requirements for a 3 day rental, which happens during most events, but that is ok also.  Who doesn’t want to stay an extra day at the beach?  We all deserve to have some quality family fun.
