The Practical Nursing (PN) program is a three-semester certificate program that prepares students for employment as a nurse within a year. It focuses on entry-level competencies and basic nursing care across all age groups, incorporating biological and social sciences, general education, and nursing theory. Students gain experience through supervised clinicals in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and a high-tech simulation center. Graduates meet the educational requirements to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nursing (NCLEX-PN).
