Currently, there are two options for LPN education in Connecticut. One is the Connecticut Technical High School, adult education branch, and the other is through private schools, such as New England Technical Institute , Stone Academy , and Porter and Chester Institute .
Practical Nurse Education Programs (PNEP) require applicants to have a high school diploma (or equivalent), and a passing score on a nursing entrance examination. Check with schools for start dates, tuition, and class schedules.

Articulation
Connecticut is fortunate to have a comprehensive articulation model for nursing education. This means that previous coursework is recognized, and used for credit or advanced standing in the next level of nursing education. For example, LPNs can apply for advanced placement in an entry-level RN program. RNs with an AD can now more easily continue their education by enrolling in a BS program without having to repeat courses.
