What Is a Hybrid LPN Program?
Hybrid LPN programs split your training into two parts: online theory coursework (anatomy, pharmacology, patient care fundamentals) that you complete on your own schedule — and in-person clinical hours at hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics near your home in Hawaii.
No state board of nursing, including the Hawaii Board of Nursing, permits a fully online pathway to LPN licensure. Clinical hours are non-negotiable. But hybrid programs let you keep your job, stay close to family, and minimize commute time to just the required hands-on days.
- Complete lectures and exams from home — evenings, weekends, your schedule
- Clinical rotations scheduled at partner facilities in your area of Hawaii
- Programs approved by Hawaii Board of Nursing and nationally accredited
- Graduates eligible to sit for the NCLEX-PN
