Students who wish to pursue a degree in nursing should begin in high school by taking science course that will apply to the field of nursing later on, such as biology and chemistry. After high school, students should enroll in an accredited nursing program online of through Louisiana’s LPN schools. These can be found at public and private universities and colleges as well as community colleges. The main concern is that the school be accredited and offer a clinical portion as part of their nursing training program. Graduates who have not completed a clinical portion will not be allowed to sit for the exam administered by NCLEX.

Through campus based and online programs, aspiring LPNs in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport, Louisiana may be able to prepare themselves for the possibility of employment in some of the largest hospitals and healthcare facilities in the state including Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, CHRISTUS Schumpert Saint Mary Place, and Ochsner Medical Center.
