Upon completion of the program and passing the licensing examination, as an LPN you can enter the workforce as a competent, skilled nurse. Practical nurses provide patient-side nursing care at the direction of physicians and/or registered nurses. The practice of practical nursing is based on concepts from the physical, biological and behavioral sciences. Each state has its own nurse practice act, so the scope of practice varies from state to state.
Concorde's State Board of Nursing-approved program will prepare you to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses, NCLEX.PN.
