LPN Programs in Hawaii

Hawaii LPN Training

It can be disappointing for an individual to enter the job market and realize that many of the jobs that would allow him or her to make a real difference in the community are only open to those with advanced degrees and many years of experience. Most LPN courses last for only one year, and can put a person on the fast track to becoming a medical professional. Hawaii LPN training is specialized training designed to train individuals to become licensed practical nurses. While most hospitals and nursing homes depend on doctors and nurses to make major decisions about diagnoses and treatment of the patients, it is most often licensed practical nurses and other medical assistants that are responsible for carrying out these orders. LPNs are trained to provide a high level of bedside care to all patients, regardless of their age or condition.

Becoming an LPN in Hawaii

In Hawaii, LPNs can become licensed either by examination or endorsement/reciprocity. Upon completion of an approved education program, one can become licensed by taking the NPLEX-PN. Those with licenses in good standing in other states are jurisdiction can apply for licensure by endorsement, so long as they have not had the license revoked and are not under any disciplinary action. Special consideration is taken to expedite licensure for non-resident military spouses who wish to continue working as an LPN in Hawaii.

Renewing an LPN License

LPN licenses in Hawaii must be renewed every odd year on June 30. If an individual does not renew his or her license by the renewal date, then individual will forfeit his or her license. After a license is forfeited, an individual has 2 years to restore the license. If the person fails to do so within 2 years, he or she will have to reapply as a new applicant and meet current licensing requirements if he or she wants to work as an LPN in Georgia.
