Licensed Practical Nursing

In extended care institutions and clinics, Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) work as members of health care teams under the supervision of Registered Nurses (RNs). LPNs are primarily responsible for providing basic care to individuals suffering from common health issues.

For those interested in becoming a licensed practical nurse, this certificate is a curricular track within the Nurse Education Program. Lectures, customized study, and practice in a nursing skills laboratory are used to teach students. Students provide patient care in a range of health care settings under the direction and supervision of nursing professors.
