What Is a Hybrid LPN Program?
Hybrid LPN programs divide your training into two parts: online theory coursework — anatomy, pharmacology, patient care — completed on your own schedule, and in-person clinical hours at hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics near your home in North Dakota.
The North Dakota Board of Nursing requires hands-on clinical experience for LPN licensure. No fully online path exists — but hybrid programs let you keep working, stay close to family, and only travel to campus or a clinical site for required in-person days.
- Complete lectures and exams from home on your own schedule
- Clinical rotations arranged at partner facilities near you in North Dakota
- All programs listed are North Dakota Board of Nursing-approved
- Graduates eligible to sit for the NCLEX-PN (Next Generation format)
