    Virginia Board of Nursing — lpn

    The Virginia Board of Nursing military service page says the following programs are considered comparable to a standard LPN or LVN education program and are approved by the Board: Army Practical Nursing Program (68WM6), and Air Force Basic Medical Technician Corpsman Program (BMTCP) 4N051-5 skill level. The page says applications are expedited for active-duty military, veterans, and spouses with appropriate proof of military service. A footnote says Board approval of those two programs relied on an NCSBN curriculum comparison. The page does not print 68C. Approval of 68WM6 is not the same statement as approval of 68C, and it is not issuance of a license.

    Next step: Open the cited source and confirm it before you apply or pay a fee. No time, cost, or extra procedure was imported for this note.
