PROGRAM INFORMATION

The Practical Nursing Program is designed to prepare the student to meet the licensure requirements for Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), as established by the Louisiana State Board of Practical Nurse Examiners (LSBPNE). The program progresses from simple to complex and consists of classroom instruction, lab practicum and supervised clinical activities in accredited hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care agencies. Upon graduation, the student is awarded a diploma and is eligible to apply for the National Council of State Boards Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN).

National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN)

The NCLEX is a test that is administered to all Practical Nursing (PN) graduates. It is meant to ensure that each nurse is competent and can practice safely as a new nurse. The test is based on Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT). CAT basically means that each test is different. Each candidate receives an individualized and unique testing experience. The NCLEX exams are produced by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN). Each year, the NCSBN surveys newly licensed nurses in order to update and ensure relevancy for the NCLEX. This ensures that the test matches up with what nurses are really doing in their field. The content for the NCLEX-PN falls into 4 main categories with several smaller subcategories. All test content is based on client needs. Nurses must use their knowledge of medical procedures, assessment, and more to care for the client in the best way possible. Students will receive their license from LSBPNE upon completion of NCLEX-PN.
