I don't know all the towns and cities in Kentucky or the areas near Bowling Green or Danville. I can tell you in Danville there is an LPN program at Bluegrass Comm College. See this site:

http://www.bluegrass.kctcs.edu/nursing/practical_nursing_lpn

For other programs in Kentucky, see the information provided on LPN schools approved by the Kentucky Board of Nursing at this site:

I hope this helps.

Programs that lead just to the LPN are decreasing as is the call for them apparently. The community college in your area has the 2-yr degree for RNs. You probably should call them and ask if you wanted to be an LPN, what are your options.
I know in AZ, the MCCD (Maricopa Community College District) offers RN training at many colleges, BUT they have a "skills center" where one can train to be an LPN. Kentucky MIGHT have some similar deal, but nothing popped up easily.
It really is only one more year of studies, full-time yes, to be an RN. You would have more career options, so you might want to reconsider that choice--not sure why you say you don't want to be an LPN. I suppose you could also enter a "ladder program" where at the end of the first year you can sit for the LPN exam and stop there if you wanted to.
Alternatively, call a local hospital and ask their HR (Human Resources) department about LPN training. They might even have a diploma program for all I know, though those are rare nowadays.
