Cert in Practical Nursing, Vocational Nursing and Nursing Assistants

The Practical Nursing Certificate builds the essential skills needed for a career as a licensed practical nurse. Students complete two semesters of study and prepare to provide direct patient care in many different clinical environments. Licensed practical nurses work under the guidance of registered nurses and advanced practice nurses. The college reports employment, salary and certification exam results for recent graduates on the program page. The certificate is a short route into nursing for people who want to begin working within about a year. Applicants enter through the college's general admissions process, and the program page links to admissions details, accreditation information and options to request more information or arrange a campus visit. Each program listing shows an approximate length in years and semesters along with an estimated cost range, and a separate page offers outcome statistics for recent graduates so prospective students can judge the results for themselves.
