Our job is to support you from your very first step, including:

Eight start dates per year
No prerequisites
No waiting list at many campuses
No need to apply twice
With a mix of online courses, on-campus lab simulations and clinical experiences, you’ll develop the knowledge you need to take the NCLEX-PN®4
licensure exam and become a safe, practicing Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). The Practical Nursing Diploma program is a great way to get into a nursing role. Many LPNs are satisfied with their careers as a hands-on care provider; however, if you decide to advance your education to increase your scope of practice, our Practical Nursing program will provide the foundation for you to prepare for a role as a Registered Nurse.

When you decide to become a registered nurse (RN), you’re making the choice to change lives, including your own. In our ADN program, you’ll develop the skills you need for a career in caregiving.
