Program Overview<br />
The Practical Nurse program provides<br />
students with the education to enter a<br />
highly respected and challenging career<br />
in health care. If you have a desire<br />
to work in a dynamic environment,<br />
providing high quality nursing care in<br />
hospitals, community care facilities<br />
and other health-related institutions,<br />
then consider a professional career<br />
in Practical Nursing. Practical nurses<br />
assist clients with activities of daily<br />
living; perform assessments; provide<br />

comfortable environments. Practical<br />
nurses collaborate with other members<br />
of the health care team to help clients<br />
meet their physical, emotional and<br />
psychological needs.<br />
