In the coming years, we will see a growing need for nurses in home health programs, medical clinics, rehabilitation centers, and long-term care facilities. At the same time, job responsibilities of nurses will be steadily expanding, and as they do, salaries and benefits will increase as well. Overall, the opportunities for employment as a practical nurse have never been better. This program will prepare you to take the National Council Licensing Examination for Practical Nursing. Advisors in the Department of Nursing can consult with you on continuing your nursing education and help determine your eligibility and scholarship opportunities.
Program begins spring semester and takes three consecutive semesters to complete.
Courses are held in both Boise and Canyon County. Students may need to commute between the two areas. Applicants must meet all admission requirements, submit three provided recommendation forms, and be interviewed by the Practical Nursing faculty. All applications must be submitted through the Financial Aid Office. Be sure to ask us about it.
