A
Feedback:
In this 2-year program, students are eligible to take the NCLEX-PN examination after the first year of education. These nurses are then licensed as LPN/LVNs. The second year of the program builds on the first year, and the graduates of the 2-year program are eligible to take the NCLEX-RN examination and become licensed as RNs. A one-plus-one program has the advantage of allowing the nurse to work as an LPN/LVN after 1 year of education. The nurse can work during the second year of the program or may choose to work for a while before returning for the second year of the program.
