About
The mission of the Practical Nursing program is to provide the technical instruction and skill development for the student to become gainfully employed in the nursing field.
The curriculum includes classroom study and supervised clinical practice in various healthcare facilities which will integrate practical nursing theories and use of the nursing process in responding to the needs of patients experiencing various health problems. The clinical experience will teach the student to participate in the role of patient care provider and healthcare professional in the medical, surgical, obstetric, pediatric, geriatric, and mental health focuses.
The practical nursing student must complete the prescribed course of study and clinical experience and then pass the national licensure examination (NCLEX) to become a Licensed Practical Nurse.
