Practical Nursing Certificate (M216)

The Practical Nursing Certificate is a one-year program that prepares graduates to take the licensing examination (NCLEX-PN). Prospective students may select the program either on admission to the College, or after completing core courses: NUR 111 Calculation of Medications in Nursing , and NUR 120 Introduction to Nursing Practice . Licensed Practical Nurses function under the direction and supervision of a Registered Nurse, and/or a primary care provider, to provide care for clients in a variety of healthcare settings. The LPN works in a team relationship with other healthcare providers. The program is approved by the Maryland Board of Nursing (MBON). The College’s computer literacy requirement is a prerequisite for entry into the Practical Nursing Certificate Program.
