Practical
Nursing Program The Practical Nursing program prepares individuals
to practice within the legal scope of practical nursing under the supervision
of a registered nurse or physician. Use of the nursing process at the practical
nursing level toward the maintenance of health and prevention of illness, the
observation and nursing care of persons experiencing changes in their health process,
and the evaluation of health practices of patients are emphasized.
Classroom
instruction in theory and basic nursing skills are provided on campus. Under the
guidance of program faculty, students gain valuable experience in the care of
clients of all ages in a variety of health care settings (hospitals, long-term
care facilities, clinics and child care centers). Acceptance into the Practical
Nursing program is based on a selective admissions process.
Progression
in the Practical Nursing program is contingent upon achievement of a grade of
"C" or better in each course and maintenance of a 2.0 cumulative grade
point average or better (on a 4.0 scale).
The credential option available
