Students who would like to become a LPN must have a high school diploma or a GED. They must be able to pass a drug test and then pass a criminal background check.  Afterwards they must complete a training program and obtain a license.

I wouldn’t like to become a LPN because it doesn’t really interest me and I want a career in the biology field and I really wouldn’t want to become a nurse.
