The practical nursing program prepares students to provide nursing care to patients and their families in hospitals, nursing homes, physician offices, home health care agencies and health clinics. The program of study combines nursing theory lectures with planned patient care learning experiences in hospitals, nursing homes and community health care agencies. Graduates are qualified to take the National Council of Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN).

Required prerequisite courses may be taken on a full- or part-time basis.

Note: Admission to the practical nursing program is temporarily suspended. New students will not be accepted into the program after the 2010-2011 academic year.
