The educational program has been developed from the philosophy and student learning outcomes of the School of Nursing. The program provides education and guidance for students in preparation for their delivery of comprehensive professional nursing care as graduate nurses.
The School offers two program options: Generic and the LPN – RN.
- The Generic Program is a two-year day program.
- The LPN to RN Track Program is a one-year day program for qualified LPN’s who wish to enter into NSG 136 (LPN Transition – Nursing through the Lifespan) and finish the nursing part of the program in ten months. Upon satisfactory completion of NSG 136, 16 credits will be granted for the LPN licensure.
Capital Health provides the primary clinical facility for the correlation of theory to practice for required nursing courses. It may be necessary to attend evening or weekend clinical sessions depending on facility availability. Additional clinical facilities are selected to provide a broad range of learning experiences to meet the curriculum objectives. At all times the clinical education is taught by Capital Health instructors.
When the student has successfully completed the planned program of studies, completed all planned comprehensive testing and pre-graduation requirements, and fulfilled all financial obligations, he/she is eligible for graduation. Graduates are then eligible to take the licensing examination, National Council of State Boards of Nursing Examination (NCLEX-RN), to become a registered nurse.
