The LPN must first complete all general education requirements of the AND program. See director of nursing education or allied health advisor for further information. The physical education option is designed to provide the student with the first two years of course requirements leading to a bachelor's degree in physical education and a teaching certificate. High school preparation for this option should include algebra, biology and chemistry. Upon successful completion of the curriculum, the graduate is eligible to take the PN licensure exam.
Graduates are prepared to give competent, safe nursing care to clients in a variety of settings.
The clinical portion of the practical nursing curriculum is completed in one year but because of prerequisite courses, demands of clinical experiences and personal responsibilities the entire curriculum will take at least two years. See page 9 for application information. Contact the allied health advisor for specific prerequisites for NU 101, NU 210 and NU 211. Conviction of a felony or misdemeanor may prohibit you from taking the nursing licensure exam. Please see the director of nursing education prior to enrolling to discuss your options.
