Certificate in Practical Nursing (LPN/LVN)

Our program, approved by the State Board of Nursing, will prepare you to sit for the licensing exam. You'll learn how to provide patient-side nursing care at the direction of physicians and/or registered nurses in a variety of health care settings such as acute care, long-term care, home health care and other community health care agencies. In addition to the realistic laboratory environment Concorde provides, we also offer hands-on working experience called clinicals.

Associate of Science in Nursing

This program leads to an Associate of Science degree and prepares students to take the National Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX.RN). Graduates who pass the NCLEX.RN, can enter the health care workforce as confident, competent professional nurses. The RN is highly skilled and educated. The RN is prepared to function in the roles of the management and providing of care, and is a contributing member to the health care team. While at the bedside, the RN is accountable for decisions that impact the health care outcomes for the patient. The scope of an RN's practice is defined in individual state statutes.

Beginning students in this program are enrolled in general education courses, nursing theory courses and clinical practice. The nursing courses begin with foundations courses that introduce students to the practice of nursing, nursing theories, legal and ethical issues in nursing and basic concepts of patient care. Students then advance through nursing courses that include more complex concepts in patient care and specialty nursing areas such as mental health, maternal-child nursing and care of pediatric patients.
