The LPN program will prepare students to work in healthcare facilities under the supervision of a Registered Nurse or Physician. The curriculum consists of three categories: lecture, skills and clinical hours (hours in a healthcare facility). The combination of the three will provide the students with a comprehensive understanding of the role and scope of practice of the professional LPN. This includes the knowledge, skills and hands-on practice in a healthcare facility necessary for a student to not only gain the knowledge and skills needed but the practice required to become an effective member of the healthcare team. Upon completion of the program, the LPN graduates will be prepared to pass the NCLEX-PN.
