Practical Nursing Programs

Practical Nursing Programs prepare students to become Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs). These programs typically last about one year and include classroom instruction, clinical practice, and laboratory work. Students learn fundamental nursing skills, patient care, basic anatomy, and health assessment. Graduates are qualified to provide basic nursing care under the supervision of registered nurses and doctors, assisting with tasks like monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and supporting patient comfort. Upon completion, students must pass a licensing exam to practice professionally, contributing to patient health and well-being in various healthcare settings.
