Practical Nursing

Licensed practical nurses are a vital part of today’s health care team—in acute hospital care, long-term care, and in the community. You provide compassionate, professional nursing care to individuals throughout the human lifespan; infants to seniors.

In just two years, we’ll help you develop into a competent, confident nurse capable of making a positive difference in the health and well-being of individuals, their families, and our communities.

Onsite labs and community-based clinical experiences let you apply nursing knowledge, theory, and skills in a variety of environments. Our experienced faculty help you grow into a competent, confident nurse capable of bringing a holistic, humanistic approach to patient care.

You’ll study:

  • anatomy and physiology
  • pharmacology
  • administration of medications
  • health and healing
  • health challenges
  • health assessment and praxis
  • personal and professional relationships
  • sociology
  • nursing transitions

Clinical Experience – each semester contains a clinical experience that gives you the opportunity to put theory into practice. Clinical is completed in a variety of practice settings: long term care, rehabilitation, acute care, community and more.
