Licensed Practical Nurse
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.
