Licensed Practical Nursing (PN) Program Features

"The Practical Nursing certificate program consists of 27 credits of nursing courses and 16 credits of general education. This program can be completed in one calendar year and prepares graduates to provide nursing care to individuals across the lifespan. Concentrated clinical experience is part of the summer courses, which are scheduled five days a week.

This provides students opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge to clinical practice in a variety of settings to better prepare them for their role as a practical nurse."
