The Practical Nursing Program was designed for the adult learner who wishes to enter the Nursing field and become involved in the hands-on part of nursing care. Practical Nursing meets the student’s need for vocational training and the needs of the community for qualified LPN’s in the workforce. Nursing is a helping profession that assists individuals, families, groups and communities in the promotion of optimal health. The aim of nursing is to promote wellness and assist in preventing illness, restoring health and facilitating coping. Nursing is a dynamic interpersonal profession in which goals are best accomplished through use of the nursing process. Nursing care is provided to patients whose self-care deficits require assistance from the nurse in meeting health care needs. Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN’s) function as a contributing member of the health care team by providing nursing care under the supervision or direction of a registered nurse or licensed physician. The LPN’s scope of practice includes contributing to data collection, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation of the plan of care. Duties may include assignment of specific tasks and teaching basic nursing skills and principles. Practical nurses provide safe and effective care for individuals or groups in various settings. The expected outcome of this program is to provide the graduate with the ability to obtain an entry-level position within a physician’s office, clinic, nursing home, rehabilitation center or hospital after successful completion of the Licensure Examination.
