As a nurse, your job is not simply limited to one task per day. You play a vital role in the healthcare system as an advocate for patients and a liaison between doctors and specialists. You have the ability to remain calm and empathetic as a source of support in difficult times.
Studying to become a RN or LPN at NCC is a challenging but rewarding experience. You not only learn how to save lives, but you also care for others no matter the situation.
NCC recognizes that not all nursing students follow the same goal-oriented approach, and therefore offers two career options: the associate degree to become a registered nurse (RN) or the practical nursing certificate for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN).
Each program is comprised of general education and nursing courses that include planned clinical experience. Nursing education provides the students with basic knowledge and skills necessary for competent beginning level practice. It prepares a caring and empathetic nurse, who functions as a self-directed learner and accepts responsibility for professional behavior.
LPN is a fall-start clinical program. The application opens October 1 and must be completed by February 1.
RN is a fall-start and spring-start clinical program depending on campus location. For fall start, the application opens October 1 and must be completed by February 1. For spring start, the application opens May 1 and must be completed by September 15.
These are selective programs, please carefully review all provided information and requirements.
