industry.The Practical Nursing program is designed to prepare the student to become Licensed Practical Nurses. The program consists of both classroom instruction and supervised clinical activities in accredited hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care agencies.

Upon graduation, the student is awarded a diploma and is eligible to take the National Council of State Boards Licensure Examination, NCLEX, for Practical Nurses.
