Dear Fellow LPN/LVN State Association Members,

My name is Joyce Burnett and I am the President of the LPN Association of Florida.
I have come across a company that is supportive of LPNs who are interested in becoming RNs, and I want to share their information with you.

The company is Rue Educational Publishers. Rue is a research company whose focus is nursing education through independent study. Rue will guide and support LPNs to reach their goal of RN, while maintaining the freedom to work fulltime and still be available to to care for their families. Rues Directed Study Systems include all textbooks and Rue produces organized and thoroughly researched workbooks to go with them. These workbooks will keep the LPN focused on the information needed, to pass final exams offered by Excelsior College, while respecting the level of knowledge an LPN already has. I also like the fact that with Rue you can study anytime, anywhere and at your own pace.

The LPNAF have found Rue Educational Publishers to be supportive of LPNs and committed to helping them reach their goals. We find the Rue program to be well written, easy to understand and right on target. The LPNAF endorses the Rue Program and is happy to recommend them to you as an outstanding educational option".

Sincerely,
Joyce Burnett- President, LPNAF
