Practical Nursing Program
Become An LPN In 12 Months
Our nationally accredited Practical Nursing Program is three-semesters long and combines college coursework with nursing theory and practical experience in a variety of clinical settings. Students are introduced to the concepts of health promotion and health maintenance. Students explore the theory of basic nursing care, pharmacology, disease process and specialty nursing.
Students practice nursing skills in a simulated lab designed to model the clinical setting. Newly learned skills are then applied in clinical settings such as long-term care facilities and hospitals. Student practical nurses are exposed to a variety of departments within each setting to provide a better understanding of the care clients receive, and to expose students to potential career opportunities.
