The Practical Nursing program is a program designed to prepare students with prior health care experience (such as Certified Nursing Assistants or experienced Medical Assistants) to function as members of the health care team under the direction and supervision of a licensed physician and/or registered nurse in a variety of health care settings. Students gain understanding of physiological, psychological, pathological, and basic nursing care needs of medical surgical patients across the life span, pregnant and post-partum patients, neonates, infants, and children while maintaining a safe environment for patients and their families.
