The Practical Nursing (PN) program develops well rounded future nurses for a variety of healthcare settings. Students gain the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary to provide direct nursing care to patients in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, home health care, and community based settings.
This educational program includes classroom theory, laboratory experiences, and supervised clinical experiences with clear program learning outcomes.
Through cooperative team efforts, our graduate practical nurses will successfully pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for Practical Nurses on their first attempt.
Practical Nursing is three semesters for full-time day students, and three semesters for the hybrid evening program.
The PN program is a selective admission program and therefore has its own admission process in addition to the school application. Students are encouraged to apply early!
