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 in this program is: Practical
Nursing (Diploma)
