LPN Program

Northern Michigan University has reactivated its practical nursing (LPN) program, with 15 credits of prerequisite courses being offered in the winter 2013 semester. The classes are AH 101, AH 102, BI 104, HN 210, HP 200, and PN 103. Upon completion of prerequisite courses, a cohort of 40 students will be selected for admission to the LPN courses for fall 2013. Once accepted into the program, students will complete three semesters of LPN courses consisting of 10 credits in fall 2013, 12 credits in winter 2014 and 12 credits in summer 2014.

Those interested in the program can apply for admission to NMU online at www.nmu.edu/admissions or by calling 906-227-2650.

Bachelor Degree Programs

Programs leading students to earn a bachelor of science in nursing degree combine the study of humanities and physical and behavioral sciences with professional nursing courses and clinical experience. Students are expected to demonstrate competency in critical thinking, communication and therapeutic nursing interventions when providing care for clients, families and communities. Graduates of the program are qualified to take the National Council for Licensure Exam and to apply for entrance to graduate programs in nursing.

Whether students are fresh out of high school or they have worked in the field for years, one of the four baccalaureate programs will meet their needs.

Graduate Program

The Master of Science in Nursing Program (MSN) provides registered nurses (BSN) with advanced knowledge and clinical skills to serve as primary care providers for individuals of all ages and their families. FNPs practice in a variety of rural and urban ambulatory settings such as physician offices, outpatient clinics, health maintenance organizations, community health clinics, and specialty clinics. Graduates are eligible for national certification and state specialty certification.
