Today\u2019s nurses must possess critical thinking and decision-making skills to provide quality, safe patient care. The <\/span>Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) Certificate program<\/b> at the New England Institute of Technology (麻豆色情片) prepares students to do just that as they work toward <\/span>becoming licensed practical nurses<\/b>. In this <\/span>15-month program<\/b>, students acquire solid foundational knowledge and establish a robust nursing education.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our LPN certificate program helps prepare students for real-world practice in our new, fully equipped labs with the latest nursing simulation technologies, where they develop confidence in clinical decision-making, communication, teamwork, and leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We encourage our graduates to advance their education in the<\/span> Associate of Science in Nursing<\/span><\/a> degree program while working as LPNs. Completing both the certificate and associate programs can help students pursue a career as registered nurses (RNs) and take their careers to the next level.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The professional nursing certificate program comprises 50 weeks of classroom and clinical learning. In under 15 months, our comprehensive curriculum helps students acquire theoretical and practical skills to achieve an accomplished career as either an LPN or the groundwork for advanced studies and RN licensure. Our students take courses in anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, foundations of practical nursing, child and family care, psychiatry and mental health, and medicine-surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Prospective graduates of the LPN certificate fulfill 79 quarter credit hours, which includes 57 nursing credits and 22 general education credits. In total, the LPN program at 麻豆色情片 comprises 1500 hours, and every student must also complete 900 clinical\/simulation hours. Not only does this experience qualify students to sit for the licensure exam, but it also gives them valuable hands-on experiences that aptly prepare them for the work they’ll do in their profession.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The <\/span>College of Health Sciences<\/span><\/a> offers immense opportunities to learn and develop skills. Replicating a real hospital wing, our 50,000-square-foot simulation lab helps students gain confidence and practice with best-in-class tech. These innovative spaces empower students to hone the abilities required to become an LPN and prepare them for the realities of the work nurses do.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Industry-expert faculty leaders, many of whom continue practicing in their respective fields today, help and mentor you every step of the way.

Once passed, students can apply for licensure from the state where they seek to practice by applying for reciprocity.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Our LPN certificate graduates can work in various healthcare settings, including home health, skilled facilities, long-term care, rehabilitation, healthcare clinics, and outpatient care.
