Application / Brochure / Student Handbook

Learn how to provide top-quality patient care in a variety of medical settings, to prepare you for a fulfilling career as an LPN. Our in-depth curriculum provides the relevant instruction you need in both simulated and real-life settings, as well as skills, terminology and confidentiality that will benefit you in the nursing field.

LPNs have been called the eyes and ears for Registered Nurses and physicians. Practical nurses often have more hands-on time caring for patients than RN’s or doctors. As a diligent nurse, ongoing and accurate assessment is vital. In addition to monitoring and assessing patients, medication is administered and dressings are changed. Many LPNs are in charge nurse positions, many others assist patients with personal care.

There is also high demand for LPN jobs, due to the aging population. You’ll discover an abundance of entry-level jobs for LPN candidates with little to no experience, meaning you can quickly enter the work force and begin to make connections. And, should you ever decide to pursue an RN career, becoming an LPN gives you the opportunity to get real-world experience and support yourself while pursuing that goal.

If you’re aspiring to become a nurse, let the practical nursing program be your springboard to an exciting, fulfilling career.

Students enrolled in the program will prepare for the NCLEX licensure exam.

The program cost for the Practical Nursing program is $5,363.25.

Our PN program cost will increase for FY 25 due to changes in the testing and curriculum. This price will be finalized in June 2024 and posted on our webpage.
