Nursing Schools in Connecticut

At Connecticut nursing schools, you can customize your training to suit your career goals. Some aspiring nurses start with a one-year licensed practical nurse (LPN) training program and return later to complete an LPN-to-RN (registered nurse) degree. Others may choose to earn a diploma, two-year associate's degree (ADN), or four-year bachelor's degree (BSN) in nursing, leading to registered nurse (RN) certification.

Nurses also need to pass national licensing exams--the NCLEX-RN for registered nurses and the NCLEX-PN for LPNs--and keep current with continuing education requirements to stay licensed.
