Being an LPN has nothing to do to whether with or not you need a car. What does matter is where you live in location to your employer. If you live close enough to walk or bike then no you will not need a car. However, where is the school that you'll be attending for LPN training? Is it near public transporation or walking distance from your house? You need to get trained and licenesed to work as an LPN. Once you work as an LPN you should be able to afford a vehicle. Good luck to you....never give up....(Joyce Meyer Ministries)
