Teaching, supervising, and delegating, are also components of the RN role. Upon completion of this program, the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) is eligible to obtain licensure by passing the NCLEX-RN.

This is a daytime, 45 week program; combining theory, simulation, clinicals, and skills lab experiences. Full-time students will have class, lab, or clinicals five days per week.
