Nursing (Practical)
Have an exciting, in-demand job, take care of others, and have a career upon graduation!
WNCC’s Practical Nursing program is designed to prepare you to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) capable of providing nursing care under the supervision of a licensed professional. Once you successfully complete the program, you’ll be eligible to take the national licensing exam to become an LPN.
Our program is located at all three WNCC campuses. The program will give you the knowledge, competency, and hands-on training you’ll need to graduate and take the NCLEX-PN exam. You will have classroom work and clinical rotations throughout the school year. Clinical rotations are usually during the day, but they may also occur evenings and weekends depending on the availability of clinical experiences.
Prior to enrolling in the two semesters of nursing courses, you will need to complete specific courses listed below. You will receive a diploma once you successfully complete the program.
