NURSING MY WAY
About the LPN Program

Our Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) course is designed to get students working as nurses as quickly as possible. You can be in the field, caring for patients in as little as nine months. Plus, the demand for LPNs is growing, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, by 2030, LPN jobs will grow by 9 percent.

LPNs work closely with doctors and registered nurses to ensure the implementation of care plans for patients. LPNs are very hands-on and work closely with patients and their families. The job requires strong people skills, compassion and the ability to multi-task.

What You’ll Learn

Our program is designed to prepare you to work as a nurse. We teach you how to administer medication, assess patients, collect lab samples and properly care for wounds and provide patient education.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be responsible for executing patient care plans, as outlined by a doctor or registered nurse. You will update patients’ medical charts, monitor them for changes, deliver medication, check vital signs and share important information with the larger care team.
