PenderCory Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hey all, I'm currently in the Delayed Entry Program with the US Army as 68C Practical Nursing Specialist. Through this program I will become a LPN, but after this I want become a PA. What is the best way of doing this in your opinion with the experience I will have being LPN? I will have some college credits do to the training I will recieve as well! Thank you all for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted July 9, 2014 Moderator Share Posted July 9, 2014 LPN to PA is a great path. PM Jwells here at the pa forum. he is a successful em pa who I used to work with who started out as an army LPN. he did the civilian pathway using GI bill. going to the military IPAP is also an option , but the competition is very stiff I have heard. good luck.
