Licensed practical nurses (LPN) play a pivotal role on the healthcare team. Working under the supervision of doctors and nurses, LPNs serve as caregivers and contribute to the treatment plan for patients in numerous areas of the healthcare field. The Practical Nursing diploma* at Bryant & Stratton College provides students the opportunity to continue their education with the Nursing associate degree, as they are eligible to transfer credits from the PN diploma to the Nursing associate degree program upon passing the National Council Licensure Examination for Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurses (NCLEX-PN) exam and possessing a Practical Nursing license.
Through classroom and clinical experience, this accredited practical nursing program prepares students to become licensed practical nurses. An LPN provides care to their patients in a variety of healthcare environments, including hospitals, physicians’ offices, clinics, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home healthcare settings. Upon completion of the LPN classes in this diploma program, graduates will be able to pursue a number of patient care career opportunities in both clinical and laboratory healthcare situations.
The PN diploma prepares students for the NCLEX-PN exam. Upon completion of the diploma, students will be eligible to pursue their nursing license by taking the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN) provided they meet the requirements of the state board of nursing
