Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) care for people who are sick, injured, convalescent, or disabled; LPNs work under the direction of physicians and registered nurses. LPNs may work in hospitals, long term care facilities, clinics, and a variety of other areas. The Practical Nursing program at Manhattan Area Technical College prepares students for this career.
Upon completion of the program, the student will be eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN) for licensure as a practical nurse. Besides meeting the state minimum requirement for licensure, the curriculum also serves as a bridge program for students who want to continue their education in nursing or other allied health professions.
