The duration of a registered practical nurse (RPN) program typically ranges from 1 to 2 years, depending on the educational institution and the specific program. Many RPN programs are offered at community colleges and technical schools, and they often include a combination of theory classes, laboratory work, and clinical rotations to provide students with hands-on experience. After completing the program, graduates are eligible to apply for licensure as a practical nurse and can start working in various healthcare settings.
