Nursing is both an art and a science. The individual must have compassion, a desire to help others and a commitment to life-long learning. The purpose of the practical nursing program is to prepare an LPN who is capable of effective use of the nursing process in providing care to one or a group of individuals in order to promote health and manage health problems. The practical nurse functions as a team member to meet the diverse needs of individuals, families and communities in a dynamic healthcare environment.
Our accelerated practical nursing program can be completed within one year. The program includes classroom, labs, simulation instruction, and clinical experience each semester in acute care settings, extended care facilities, and community health care agencies. Upon graduation from the program, the graduate is eligible to apply for the NCLEX-PN for NJ licensing. Graduates passing the exam are then able to apply for a license to practice as a licensed practical nurse within the State of New Jersey.
