Description
The Practical Nursing program prepares students to assist in providing general nursing care under the direction of a registered nurse, physician, or dentist. Students spend time in the classroom and in clinical experiences. Clinical labs are completed in nursing homes, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities. Clinical practicum is planned to provide students with varied experiences; therefore, students may have a portion of their clinical experience in facilities in Morrilton, Conway, Russellville, Clinton, or other areas as needed.
Upon successful completion of the Practical Nursing program, students are eligible to take the National Council Licensing Exam (NCLEX-PN®) if approved by the Arkansas State Board of Nursing (ASBN). After passing this exam, students may enter the job market as a licensed practical nurse. This license may also be used to enter a registered nursing program. All states require nurses to pass a licensing examination to become licensed as a practical nurse. Eligibility to take the NCLEX-PN® is dependent on meeting the standards in the ASBN Nurse Practice Act and Rules.
