Are you a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) dreaming of expanding your skills, increasing your earning potential, and taking on more responsibility? If so, becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) might be the perfect next step in your nursing journey. At Informatix Health, we understand the unique path every caregiver takes, and we’re here to support you every step of the way — especially if you’re in Brockton, Massachusetts or nearby communities.
Why Make the Move from CNA to LPN?
Transitioning from CNA to LPN is more than just a title change. It means:
- More Autonomy: LPNs can perform more complex medical tasks, administer medication, and create care plans.
- Higher Pay: LPNs typically earn significantly more than CNAs, reflecting their expanded responsibilities.
- Career Growth: Becoming an LPN can be a stepping stone to becoming a Registered Nurse (RN) or even a Nurse Practitioner (NP).
Steps to Becoming an LPN in Massachusetts
1. Meet the Prerequisites
You’ll need a high school diploma or GED and, ideally, some CNA experience (which you already have!).
2. Enroll in a State-Approved LPN Program
Look for programs at community colleges or vocational schools. Many offer flexible schedules for working professionals.
3. Pass the NCLEX-PN Exam
This national licensure exam tests your knowledge and clinical judgment. Preparation is key, but with dedication, it’s absolutely doable.
4. Apply for Licensure through the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing
Once you pass the NCLEX-PN, you can apply for your official LPN license.
