The Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) certificate program prepares students for patient care careers in approximately one year. Students learn nursing fundamentals and essential clinical skills from faculty with real-world nursing experience. LPNs commonly support older adults in long-term care facilities and hospitals, providing comfort and essential healthcare services. The program is a cost-effective entry point into healthcare and serves as a pathway toward becoming a Registered Nurse. Admission is selective, requiring testing requirements or minimum GPA in prerequisite courses, and applicants must meet technical standards for observation, communication, motor skills, and essential behavioral attributes.
